I used a lock similar to this one. Kuryakyn 4248 License Plate Helmet Lock With Mount:Amazon:Automotive It used a key similar to my fz1. I ground down and arranged the pins so my fz1 key would work.

Your Gen 1 is beautiful.

I finally rebuilt my forks. I had to wait for parts and cooler temperatures. Thanks Billy, the videos were extremely helpful. For the fork polishing, I used crumpled pieces of aluminum foil (instead of sand paper) and simichrome polish. It worked great.

What fork oil is needed, and how much should I buy. Thanks

I'm not sure if I missed it, but is the homemade 26mm socket on a pipe tool, not used in the video?

How do I polish minor pitting?

I had Kens cycles replace seals on a sv650. On my way home parts started coming loose. The owner said he would make it up to me next time. I don't want another experience like that on the highway after spending $350.

Hacking apple tv to run xbmc will let you play other video formats. Otherwise you can convert them with a program called handbrake, for a format Apple TV accepts.

If possible get a 2nd generation appletv. It can be hacked to use xbmc software . You will be able to use Netflix and the "blue cop repo" to use amazon prime streams. I have a hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme to hold all media files but you could use a Mac or PC as a server.
