Erwin Smith (Smitty) will show and tell how to assess the condition of and properly assemble a built-up crankshaft. Appropriate for anyone working on bikes with fully rollerized crankshafts with full complement or caged bearings, and tapered and threaded pins and shafts.
Gene Harper is going to share his expertise on the 3 brush generators and voltage regulators. We've taken the liberty of linking to the Splitdorf webpage just to give you a feel. This a repeat of the 2007 seminar, it was well received adn we've scheduled it up against lunch so you can ask all the questions you'd like.
Kevin Valentine, AMCA Chief Judge is going to bring us up to speed on what judging is all about, how to intrepret the Judging Handbook, how to become a judge, how to apply what you've learned, and how to better prepare to have that bike judged. Here is your opportunity to get beyond judging as a mystical process and make it real as applied to judging at AMCA events.
Doug Matheson of Berge Plating will address the question of plating. What is it, why do we care, why does it cost so much, where to get it done - The Chrome Shop of course!. Bring all your questions and Doug will help you with the answers, no price quotes please. This is plating in general, chrome, nickel, copper, cad, zinc, etc., not just chrome, so be prepared to ask most anything.
