            Might be a good idea to spin the regulator around 180 deg so the connector blocks don't fill with water.
            Current:
            Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)

            Past:
            VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
            And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

                                35 year old fork fluid. Changed yours lately? BTW it squirts a LONG way if you don't bleed the air pressure

                                    New wheel bearings front and rear, new Shinko 230's, shakedown ride before John Day. 4-1 pipe is temporary, I didn't have time to clean up the stock exhaust. Cosmetic work to follow after riding season, although I have an offer as-is. Not sure if it is a permanent resident yet, but it fits well
                                    Ignore the Gaffers tape on the stock seat, rebuild soon with Pit Replicas cover.

                                        Let me know m if you're willing to part with one of the OEM exhaust set ups.
