With it some what tight and that piece out, but with the black rubber piece one the outside under the light it keeps it in place. Never had an issue with it. BUT...if you do figure something out, let me know.

Went to cycle gear just because I was in the area. Turns out they had 1 Hotbodies smoked black windshield for the new gen. On clearance, marked down to $5!!!!
This quick 5 minute project became a 2 day adventure with her getting naked and me becoming much more familiar with the bike. End result: |

I decided to swap my already DIY license plate mount for my own friction hinged mount design. The hinge is all 316 Stainless steel and all the hardware is SS as well since this area tends to get quite wet.

Called a place to inquire about 18k service pricing. Taking him in Thursday for valves and plugs.
Hurts the wallet but worth it to keep 'im going for longer and longer. At least until I have the time/money/tools to do it all myself. |

$240, which is over 100 less than the dealer's quote I got. They're also going to look at the carbs and tell me if anything needs to be done with them.
I could probably do the plugs myself, as I've done them on my car, but futzing around with the engine is on my "no" list until my bike is not my only vehicle because my SO tried to do the valves and sync the carbs on their bike and effed it royally. Had to get a new engine and then that one needs tuning and it was just a huge costly nightmare. That was a big '79 honda cb750 but still. I'm broke and I can't afford my bike also being broke so for now it's up to the professionals. Offer much appreciated. Perhaps on the next one! |

When I last did my valves and checked the sync on my carbs I added remote hoses for check the sync without pulling anything off. If it needs adjustment then I do have to pull the left cover and use a special right angle tool.

Finished spraying one panel, gave it a wet sand at 1300 grit and a final coat and it's looking sexy! Still a bit of speckle in places but i'll buff that out, before and after shot included.

And no, I used "Plasti-Kote Gloss Super 1127 April Green" on-top of Plasti-Kote Primer Super. It's virtually identical to Kawasaki Green, i'll see how close it is when I put them on and I can see in contrast. |

No one could tell you a dime is 10 pennies? Or do you mean they couldn't tell you the meaning behind the word dime? Is there a meaning behind pence and pound?

They could tell me the value but not why that value was attributed a name, and a pound sterling when linked to the value of gold was worth one lb of gold, hence pound, and ai don't know why a penny is called a penny, pence being the plural of penny.

My best friend and chief mechanic has a machine shop in SoCal that makes some cool stuff including a lot of turbos and manifolds for the auto industry. I don't ask him for much because I don't like to bug, but when I do he seems to welcome the challenge. If I had his equipment I'd never be able to stop modding my bike
