Ride motorcycles in Woodinville gets a big praise - I love it when I see that they put a new filter on - didn't tell me or charge me.... good way to get a lot more business
exhaust leak, they say
actually, the bolt came out of the seat when I had started it and this was the result...
the last thing to do - weld a stanchion in place to hold this - however, the weld-repair on the other side suggests I should replace the pipe - then design a mount
naked again
radiator protectors
replace zip ties with a welded-on bracket for petcock
believe it or not, this is a fix of the other boot I had to cut in half to clear the tank.... much more insulation this way
I should explain, the problem with starting is low-spark - and to get spark, it required some creative taping .... rather than continue that tradition, I pulled the wiring apart, cut it down a bit to get fresh core, then screwed the plug cap into the wire (it's a honda thing, if you don't understand.... it looks like they put a metal cap into a wall anchor... you screw that anchor into the wire and it creates contact with the wire... screwy, marginally effective when perfect.... it wasn't perfect).
