I don't know if it's just the new paint or all the work I did to her. She rides better then ever. Smooth and tight. I really feel the difference especially with the brakes. Those Galfer brake lines are fantastic. I recommend them to anyone. Front brake feels like power brakes now. It actually took a little getting used to. This week I hope to get her pin striped and I also want to get my gas cap re powder coated in a satin black. It is a gloss black now and I don't think it looks quite right.

I had the same reaction when I changed out my brake lines too. I think that the sale on Pashnit is over now, but if anybody wants the upgrade, it's well worth waiting for the next one.

  Glad you got her out today Dave.  I agree about the brake lines. While some may disagree, I think they are great, more responsive, etc.  Same with clutch line.  can't wait to see the new look.

for some reason it takes several hours. At least for me it did. If you change it just leave it for a day and it will go thru. cooldude Just noticed it looks like you took your avatar out try putting your pic in there and wait for awhile.

Also Dave on your avatar pic I think it needs to come off a real pic from your computer not from a link on a photo service . The avatar pic is the only thing I could do successfully. So my advice is worth diddly.

Dave;
After you did my Valk, she feels like a new and different (better) machine. I was anticipating the same result on yours.
Enjoy it. cooldude
