Replaced my brake pads and installed a nice little GPS speedometer on the top of my existing speedometer and tach. The old clocks were running 7 MPH slow at 25 MPH and got a lot slower at highway speeds. It's nice to have an accurate speedometer again. It does all sorts of things, you can set it to show time, voltage, trip mileage, change the refresh rate, etc.[IMG]http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/image.php?type=sigpic&userid=17315&dateline=1440711157[/IMG]'78 GS1000E, Dyna-S ignition, Dyna Green Coils, K&N pods, Delkevic SS 4-1 exhaust, Dynojet Stage 3 jet kit, Russell SS Brake Lines, Progressive suspension, Compu-Fire series Regulator 55402 and Advmonster cree LED headlight conversion.

The ZX3 was a great handling car that did well in autocross and rallycross when it came out. The SVT Focus was a fabulous car to drive, but that particular motor was cursed.
I drove a Focus all over Ireland and really enjoyed that car.[COLOR=#333333]"Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

More like 2 days... Still need to finish up some but I painted the pourch and the trim of my new house...
Before pic is what it looked like when we moved in...(just taken in March)
After about 20 hours of paint work and vinyl cleaning:
I also replaced a toilet in our half bath with a Kholer (huzzah for having an interior designer for a fiance)
Still have some more trim to paint on the backside of the house. The pourch tied me up with scraping and painting...
The whole ladder thing is something to get used to.

faring 002 by gillinghams2007, on Flickr
Gustafsson came through for me of this new windscreen. The hole weren't drill as advertised, but they provided a free drill bit and scratch restorer and polish as compensation. Great company and appreciate my corny complaint about being promised something holy! (test, 1st photo with flickr)[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Nice Charlie! Flickr is working well I see too
I didn't end up taking any pic's (sacrilege I know!) but the battery box mount decided to part company with the frame on the 450 during our ride on Saturday morning and it was just hanging on by the front mount with the wires supporting it
Welded it back on yesterday and decided while I had the rear guard out I'd plastic weld that together too (from where it split rolling back into the concrete wall at work) so that's all sorted as well. Haven't road tested the repairs yet but will do at some point soon.1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Quite a busy weekend working on the bike. Saturday morning de-greased the engine then pulled the fairing and bracket, seat, tank, airbox, carbs, cam cover and got to work.
My to do list was;
Front brake light switch
Replace cam end plugs and cam cover gasket
Inspect/ adjust valve shims as needed
Clean and oil air filter
Replace cracked breather hose
Pull float bowls off carbs and re-install stock 115 main jets (110's were too lean and in spite of adjusting mixture screws plugs still a little white-ish)
Replace float bowl gaskets
Re-seal airbox ends
Change engine oil and filter
And in a perfect world do all of this before it gets to be 100°F in the garage. Well, did what I could yesterday, then after church today. Way too many hours, man I'm a slow mechanic! Forgot to get new spark plugs so have to sync carbs and finish up mañana!Attached Files[SIZE=10px]Roger

Finally got the rear tire replaced on the ZRX. Went with a Michelin Pilot Road 4. Plugged previous tire and when it started leaking again it was time for a new one. Cleaned up the drive chain. Detailed her up when I was done. Any body ever use this stuff? https://www.amazon.com/Lear-Chemical.../dp/B000P1C8UO A must have lube to have around for its intended use and for detailing anything black. Got a little ride in before work today.Last edited by limeex2; 07-24-2017, 02:41 AM.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]Current Ri[SIZE=2]des:[SIZE=2] 82 GS1100[SIZE=2]E,[SIZE=2][SIZE=2] 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple:twistedevil:, [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=2]03 Kawasaki ZRX1200, 01 Honda GL1800, '15 Kawasaki 1000 Versys

Woohoo, all back together! I made a mistake last time and used blue permatex on the half moons. It weeped a bit of oil but not too bad. This time permatex ultra black. 15 mile ride and no leaks. Hope it stays that way! Carbs like the bigger jets. Ill recheck the plugs after some more miles.
