Little funnel

Victor: What is that you are using the funnel to fill? From the photo it appears to me to be a crankcase with the black, finned cylinder above it, but then why is there a Brembo Gold brake caliper next to what is being filled? I thought maybe a rear drive and there clearly is a wheel below whatever is being filled, but then why the stack of black fins attached to it. Maybe the rubber gaiter attached to the swing arm.

I guess that's a CARC rear drive. The red liquid resembles RedLine Shockproof gear lube, so maybe that's it.

It's the final/rear drive, and, yes, that's also RedLine Shockproof I'm re-filling it with.
 
I use an old 80/90 qt bottle w/top sniped, then I can dump it all in hanging from a bungee while I'm on the next on list.
I use a loaf pan for the drain pan. My lovely wife tossed it, saying I shouldn't take her stuff. It is missed been using it since 1980 after the 1st wife left the farm.

I use an old loaf pan as well. I use it to clean paint brushes too and then dump the used varsol back into a container for the pigment to settle out and reuse it.
 
I cheat, I use an asepto medical irrigation syringe and add plastic tubing to the tip. The syringe has a removable top (squeeze bulb type) to add oil to the final drives of bikes.

Yup, child's ear suction-ball, various syringes (wife is an RN) and small funnels; all secretly lifted from throughout our home. Shhh.
@VictorScot I see you're from Borrego, such a lovely location. I really enjoy that area, and have spent numerous trips there on my dual sport.

Hi! I live In Julian, but consider the Anza-Borrego desert my backyard.
 
A few years ago, my wife and I drove our minivan up a trail east of Borrego Springs till we could no longer see the lights on the horizon. A full moon, a nice fire and sleeping under the stars. Boondocking at it's very best :inlove: .
