            I can see that one, great idea! We've talked about replacing our laundry sink for a while now... that gives me some inspiration how to deal with that

                Virago is holding 14.5v and running on both cylinders. We got lucky on an ebay gamble, my friend is happy.

                    Got the L inspected today. Tore the rear wheel and side cover off to do a 530 conversion and get a new tire installed. Will be rebuilding rear caliper and painting tank this weekend (hopefully).

                        Changed the seat to another Harley variety, mounted the horns and Suzuki emblems on the fuel tank as soon as I figure out why I don't have break lights Suzie Q will be ready for the road.

                          I always thought that only goldwings and full-sized beemers had all of those bells and whistles. Your GS actually has lights that come on to tell you when to take breaks?

                            Now that's a thought.

                                Last year when I put the rearsets on as part of suspension upgrades the link for the shifter was to short so I cut it and extended it with a sleeve. Never was real happy with it so I finally broke down and went to get a left hand 6mm thread die local tool supply house wanted $50 for one they would have to order in so on the interweb I went bingo amazon $6. Ordered it 4 weeks ago finally showed up today.
