    Here she is...runnning in the dark...just before I put her to sleep for the night. I love you "T". Goodnight and see you in the morning.

              Looks like your chain could use a little love,but otherwise,looks good.

                Chain Love

                My whole bike needs love...but I get where you're coming from.

                Right now, I'm concentrating on my brakes. Once I get to the rear drum brakes, that's when I'll make an effort with the chain.

                Sorry if I'm coming across a little snide...I don't wanna scare you off from future replies.

                Attacking each facet of this bike is a goal of mine...as is for most GSers on here; making the time to do it however, is another matter.

                I'm learning as I go...and it's invaluable information. At some point, maybe I can guide others because of what I've been through. It's all good.


                Again, thanks for stopping by.

                  Haha that's way way cleaner than mine.

                  I have enough money and time this year to give her all the mechanical love she needs for the upcoming season, but the dirt, oil, oxidation and peeling paint will remain unchanged.

                    Tank, your bike has character just like you. I'm sure she appreciates the love.

                    I wanted to get a snapshot of different areas of my "T". All the feedback I get is taken with a grain of salt. It will be a transformation so these pics will tell a story.

                    See you around Tank!

                      Ed,

                      Function over form this time of year, mine is huddled up with a few buddies under the garage heater and a big blue cover.

                      It is fun to see your enthusiasm. I am also learning from your posts, thank you.

                        Clutch

                        Your clutch arm looks to be a notch or to out of position, not allowing you the full movement.

                          Thank you...here's a snapshot I took a while back...I think I used it to identify engine serial number. Anyway, I'm taking my time with the adjustment so I'm walking away from it when I get frustrated.



                          I took a brake/break from adjusting the clutch cable and proceeded with the caliper/MC. As you can see...I'm all over the place with my work.

                            Thanks for the feedback. My current TDY (Temp Duty) has allowed me to concentrate my efforts on my "T". It's at my leisure so I work on her when the feeling takes over. Plus, she's in my front room next to my TV. It's hard not to look at her especially since she's been down for parts and now AWM (Awaiting Maintenance).

                              I'm sure it won't be long before you can hang a 1574 on it again.
