To keep the handlebars and most importantly...the master cylinders upright, you need to do something else. Get a piece of 1x1 about 3' long and lay it across the top of the frame, and under the switches/master cylinders on the handlebars. I then tie them down to the wood with some short bungee chords I happen to have.

Nope, new to me.  Had to go thru her.

Hook#3287

John, I'm changing out all the fluids, don't think they've been done for a while, if at all.

Hook#3287

Aaahh,  okay, umm were are they?   :-\   I swapped out one valve cover, did valve clearance, timing belt adjust, new o rings, carb slows, oil & filter, coolant swap and I'm hoping I'm good with the motor till 2012.  Got lots to do till I ride her.

WOW!!! and I thought my project list was a bit overwhelming. Can't wait to see her all done up. :coolsmiley:

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

Looks like a good day worth of work! You go!  :cooldude: TJ


Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

Ya think so??   :o  Actually it needed being done.  She hadn't got much TLC for awhile.  At least I'm past the ripping down and I'm waiting for the parts.  Come on UPS! ;)

QuoteLooks like a good day worth of work!

Yeah, day, day and 1/2.  Really, I'm taking my time cause just about everything needs cleaning and polishing.  Picking the bugs outta the rad fins was tough. :D
