This shelf will support my camping gear and raft stereo. The bottom of it is getting a couple of light fixtures.
Odd looking corner joints but strong because it's bolted to the same beefy angle-iron I used for the wall brackets.
I had to replace the 3-1/2" bolts in the triangle with 4" to go through the angle iron.
When I removed the shorter bolts, I did chin-ups from the horizontal parts.

The inner frame, shaped like the roman numeral 3, tapped into place with just a closed fist. Didn't need a hammer, and it fits tight enough to stay put til I put done fasteners in.
Joists are off center to allow screwing it to the wall studs.
And of course, liquid nails between the front rim joist and the 2x6.

The pistons. The inside of the caliper is fine.
They're machined all perfect and stuff. I don't want to use anything abrasive. He'll I coulda had it spotless in 5 minutes with the belt sander..
Gonna soak em overnight in kerosene & see if that does anything.
Pulled out the Goldwing the other day. Put it in the shop just to top off the tires and had it on the center stand. Rotating the rear wheel to get to the tire stem I noticed it's tight.
The Geezer said it was probably just stiff because it's shaft drive so I told him to run it to the end of the road and back and don't use the rear brake. It's about 2 miles.
He got back and the front rotors were 65°. Rear was 158°.
I cracked open the bleeder for a second to make sure it wasn't a clogged vent port in the master cylinder. Still stiff. Stuck caliper.
It ain't like a car where you can just throw it out and get a new one for $40.

It's just caked on grease.
Last time I cleaned up a caliper, I used a short piece of Emory cloth (maybe 25% longer than diameter) stuck in a slot on the end of a dowel rod. Stuck it in a drill. Worked great on caliper and pistons, didn't take 5 minutes.
That was on a 750/4 that'd been parked for a decade.

I am now the proud owner of my own hardware store. 
On wheels.
It's a low rider too. I made the ground clearance 1-3/4" in case I gotta roll it into the other half of the barn for some reason. That door threshold is 1-1/2" tall.
Those things set on the shelves but won't fall out cuz they're bolted in.
Got everything from 1" to 5" in 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8" plus split washers, flat washers, nuts and lock nuts. All grade 5 except the flat washers. Room for another size, figure I'll go with half inch.
Also some stainless 3/8" stuff and an incomplete assortment of the dinky stuff like 6-32, 8-32 and 10-24 in zinc and stainless.
So how's that @krelithous? I built a damn hardware store in 2 hours.
OK more like 3 hours,...
