          I got some genuine clip ons for the Kat during the week, gave them a quick cut/buff/polish yesterday and then chucked a bunch of stuff on to get an idea of how complete it is now. Still a long way to go but getting there! Very happy with the frame colour now I got to get it out in some proper sunlight too.

            Replaced the wheel on my Honda 400 today after a rear tire install yesterday. Why didn't I do it yesterday? I went to Trevor's last night to meet that racer guy, hmmm, what was is name, oh yeah, WES COOLEY!

                  My rear brake pads are original. They dont get used much.

                      Changed my oil today (and filter). Remembered to put the drain plug back in before filling.

                        Always a bonus! I know that sinking feeling when you see the oil draining straight onto the floor...

                          Started the gs after few years of hibernation, started right away but with gas pouring from everywhere.
                          I just ordered an o'ring kit from cyclesorings.

                              The swingarm some evening later in the week. ( have never done that before ).

                              Oh... I would like to talk to the engineer/designer person that decided to have the brake line run thru that bracket on the swingarm for the caliper stay.

                              .
