been working 'round the clock, not much bike fiddling but got a few things in motion...
- rashed KYBs returned and refunded in full along with all the refresh parts i bought.
- MXT inserts, springs, seals and bushings arrived. they look tasty.
- seal driver from my old Zokes is a 49-50mm model, ordered a 48mm.
- busted my crap pin spanner wrench, ordered a MotionPro replacement for snugging MXT cap.
love adding MP tools to the chest, so purdy
- got the tstat removed, simplified from 8 clamps/junctions to 3. dig that lil nurple!
- also started simplifying wiring:
- removed speedo pickup
- removed horn
- ordered banjos to remove brake light wiring f+r
- stripping signals wires front and rear next
- also ordering a Sicass Racing Start/Kill switch to clean up the bars
BUT, the big bummer was.. .
black fork oil
after full disassembly i inspected the upper tube interiors and have the dreaded lower triple clamp wear spots. the OEM anodizing has worn away.
time to send the upper tubes out for hard coat anodizing. bish. was hoping i'd escape that but oh well.
