    Craig! I might have an easier way to install grips for you. A little spray of adhesive, let it tack up. Then spray a little window cleaner on the adhesive and just sliiiiide the grips on. When the window cleaner drys, the grips are set in place! To remove, squirt some window cleaner or rubber safe pen oil and give it a little time.

    Your apparent off size 3/8 and 5/16 wrench is correct. It is probably an Austin or MG wrench. It is saying grab this wrench for a 5/16 inch threaded bolt because this fits the bolt head and the nut. Now you don't have to guess and try till you get it right.

    RE: Electrical tape
    The first couple turns should be loose so it won't unwrap. Then do tight turns, this will give a better seal with the tape. Then do the last couple turns loose again so it doesn't unwrap.
    That's what I've always known. Has nothing to do with activating adhesive and everything to do with sealing.

    This brings back memories... I had an IT495 and a TT500 in the late 90's which I raced in the historical class enduros. My wife called the IT495 the widowmaker, fast as stink but had NO brakes after a river crossing or when hard riding overheated the drums, many many big tumbles were had... TT500 was the same problem with brakes but it had dual rear shocks with little travel so hitting a bump/pothole would launch me off the bike.... funny this is what I used to call fun! Glad to see the 495's baby brother brought back to life. Well done!!!!

    For your old shop rags, get a bucket and fill it with hot water and mix in some dish soap, then let your rags sit for a few hours if not a day or two depending on how bad they are and they should clean up nicely. If you really want to go crazy then get a cement mixer and use that, construction workers like to use them for washing clothes and drop cloths and they work REALLY well. Though note that you should probably use detergent at that point unless you want foam to go everywhere.

    Love ITs, these were road legal in NZ, dealers would fit indicators and brake light switches, hi/low beam switch gear etc. I had a 175J then a 490K, the 490 made commuting very interesting, as it hated burbling along in stop and go traffic, and when it was wet it got scary.

    Early last year l found a 1978 XT500 that the original owner hauled all around the country, using it to ride National Parks. The bike went through several owners and, when l aquired it, had sat in the open, in the west Texas desert, for 12+ years. After a little work it runs well and looks ok. This video of your restoration has inspired me to clean it up, something it has had very little of. Thanks for your work.

    Warm soapy water will glue your grips on the bars and actually allow an easy install. Just have to wait for grips to dry before use. Negates the need for safety wire in your hands 👌

      Hair spray also works. It dries very sticky so the grips won't slide around.

    Not a tach drive, but speedo. And that mangled up piece on the axle spacer only keeps the spacer in the center of the hub.
    Really enjoying this, I bought the identical bike brand new in 77 or 78. Great bike as long as you don’t use your brakes much.

    The frase is usually " No plan survives first contact" it's used most in the military, but it is usually for anyone.. it's great to remember so you can be able to adjust fire in plans in life, also helps to prepare you to not get upset so you can adjust easier .

      Tachometer is the correct English language word for what you think is a speedometer. Comes from the Greek tachys which means speed.

    I feel like I geek out about seeing people using T-handles to work on things as much as Craig geeks out about his branded tools and hardware. I don't know why but the T-handles just make so much sense.
    Also, to Dan's commentary about planning, I have family that served in the Army and Marines going all the way back to the first world war and probably even before that, but one saying that's always been tossed around by my family is "Make a plan and plan to adapt when the first plan fails." I'm not sure where it originated but that's one thing that they taught me. Basically means always have a plan of action but be prepared for the plan to fail and to come up with a new plan on the fly.
