No pics cause you all know what they look like but installed a set of The2Wheels shorty levers on today

 

Washed it and started it for the first time in 3 months. It's sad the new WRX made me pretty much forget about the bike for awhile.

 

boom! post revival, i put some 20 watt 8 ohm radio shack resistors and some new, functional blinkers.
actually incredibly easy, twisting, solder, e-tape and done. radio shack should have them, just look in the top drawer that says 1 watt, they're in there.. maybe..

 

drained coolant pulled the radiator, throttle body, disconnected electrical and preparing to drop the engine... waiting on my lock wrench

 

Sat on it in my garage! Stupid Canadian winters! Come on spring, she's been packed away long enough!!!

 

Canadian? Don't you have like 9months more of winter?

 

Gonna give her a good cleaning check the chain and oil, start looking for a new set of tires, and tear it down checking wires for the speed sensor hoping is just some corrosion

 

There may be a weather window here on the Dry Side today (near Hood River) so I'm hoping to take her out for one final spin before she goes into the hay shed for winter. I recently swapped the engine/trans due to a skipping second gear. When I got that done, I painted it from full black-out....and now I have a bike that I don't have to approach with my eyes closed and try to ride around a 'missing' second gear.
I went from this

Flat black with some sloppy orange stripes and lots of plain zinc sheet metal screws holding the body work in place...to this...




A shiny metallic charcoal with a clear coat. I finally got the decals I ordered from Extreme Decals (Malta online company) sadly, just after I put put the bike together with the first coat of clear on, so I'll have to apply those next spring, I guess. Love having all the gears working perfectly! Next is some SS brake lines and some new fork internals and ...and ....

We seem to have about 45f at 7am this morning and partly cloudy...

 

Yes stupid winter! Not exactly 9 months lol but the 3 more we do have will feel like 9. Wife is already sick of hearing "I can't wait until spring" hahaha

 

Looks great. Very nice color.
