What did you do to your FZ today?

I played dentist and yanked a tooth off the counter-shaft sprocket...wow!
It now lifts the front end with ease, even if I sit my heavy azz all the way forward :sinister:
 
Last weekend I went into the local motorcycle store for a new front tire. Couldn't help but purchase some spiegler stainless steal brake lines that were on clearance. Yesterday I decided to plasti dip the exhaust can and it turned out great. Now time for a ride!! :sport12:

Happy Memorial Day btw! :america:

Nice job! Let us know how the Plasti Dip holds up to the heat of the exhaust. I'm curious to know. Thanks!
 
Ran downstairs today to get a bunch of things done. I started with cleaning out the garage gutters of junk and debris that was clogging the leader. Then I went inside and sprayed Flex-Seal on the inside roof board joints. I had a small leak which I believe was due to the gutters overflowing back into the garage. Hopefully the issue is solved. Once that was done I pulled the FZ1 outside to install the Charger Plug. I always like to keep my batteries topped off for longevity.

Plugged her in and she's now charging along with the YZF.

I had a few minutes to spare so I labeled the drawers on the tool box, inserted the rubber liners and called it a day! It looks like I'll have the FZ1 on the road this next weekend regardless whether the YZF sells or not. Yipee!!!!

I little OCD showing there Billy. :waiting: That's OK I'd probably do that to, but I have too many other stickers all over my tool box. I am almost shocked at your naked tool boxes considering what your Gen 1 looked like.

Hahahaha!!!! That was just a phase I was going through Lee. LOL!!! I'm on the "keep it original" kick now. :rofl:
 
Last night I took off the sticker from the tank the PO put on, he was a chaplin in the Navy, that I am not.

Started working on the CG Base sticker on the front fork, those things decenegrate when you pull on them! That's gonna take some time and some whiskey!
 
^ Did you try holy water on that fork sticker?...j/k

Borrow your woman's hair dryer to soften up the adhesive and use an old credit card as a scraper.
