Default Any requests for "how to"s?

I figured I would ask you guys if any of you want a specific how-to for something on the F4.

Right now I'm working on:
Spark Plug Change (Should be done soonish)
Carburetor Synchronization (Should be done 6/14)
Sprocket and Chain Replacement (Should be done 6/15)
Plastic Repair (Should be done 6/16)

For example, earlier someone PMd me asking for a how to on removing the spark plugs, I sent him back a step-by-step to hold him over, but I won't have the pictures and officialish looking writeup done for a couple days.

Considering I bought my F4likethis:

(That pic was taken after I had pulled the engine, and put in new and unbroken front suspension, totally spaced taking one of what it looked like when I got it)

I can probably handle any kind of maintenance or upkeep stuff, but don't be ridiculous and ask me for a write up on shoehorning a busa engine into the cbr frame.
Let me know what you guys think

I was just looking at an F4 on ebay that had done that last night. If I didn't already have all the F4 front end I probably would since I like the 2 headlight look better, but I've already got the F4 gauges, stay, headlight, and upper fairing. The bike as it sits now is just about ready to go riding on, just putting on the sprockets and chain today and going to take it for a spin.

It's not much trouble really, I've gotten into the habit of taking hundreds of pictures when restoring vehicles, adding a few words to them and putting them in order for the good of the community is what these forums are all about

If by fork rebuild you mean replacing the seals and bushings, I already did that write up, there's a link to it in my sig, it's in the how to forum.
Good idea on the valve check, I've got tons of pics of my heads when they were disassembled, I probably have enough to do a write up for them.

I can work on my bike...but if I took it apart like that it would never run again lol

I just cleaned my carbs, I could have used that write up before hand though

Well, we have a How-To forum (HERE). Unfortunately it gets a lot of trash posts in it from people who don't read the stickies...
