    THAT is what a performance GS should look like, unlike the current plastic clad ones can hide their mechanical ugliness.

              And I finished cleaning and lubricating the speedo and tacho last night and put them back on. Also got my registration sticker in the mail yesterday so it's on there now too

                Fitted the rider foot pegs purchased off Svsooke, they look great thanks, pulled off rear caliper, gave it a clean, fitted new brake pads, bled the system all good.
                Now I have to fix my carburetor problems, seriously thinking of fitting pod filters.
                Cheers

                  Went out to the garage to get my jacket...


                  ...and then went back inside


                  I have pneumonia right now, my right lung has fluid in it and I can't work on the cafe...UGH!

                    Started to put the forks together and then realized the orings at the fork caps are worn out so I have to replace them. Looks like all I can do this weekend is clean the engine and maybe try to re-install the rear wheel.

                      If you have one of those $3-4.00 Harbor Freight Nitrile O-ring kits,
                      you should be good to go.

                        No I don't but I'll plan on getting one payday (next Friday). The Jeep's most recent breakdown and the two trailer rentals to tow it killed the extra I had in this paycheck.

                          I put the rear brake back together on my V-strom. It had decided to rip itself apart on my last ride.

                          Once back together I fired it up to find it won't run past idle and then dies.

                          May have water in the fuel or a clogged filter. Gonna hopefully pull the tank and do a flow test today. We'll see what happens.....

                            Won't get too many dumb enough, to try and pull on THAT bike.

                              Got the new-to-me bike running after checking the electrical system, then went for a quick spin around the neighborhood to give it a quick low-speed test ride and see what immediately needs fixing/replacing.

                              This is my first parallel twin and it's a blast to ride!

                              I looked at the front tire while cruising along at 30mph and saw a horrific bulge on the right hand side as it rotated. The rim looks straight, but the tire is just awful.

                              Drove straight back home, and started looking for a tire...
