My JB Weld "fix" for my tach cable leak from last fall appears to have been successful. The bike had been on the center stand until this week (first chance I had to take it out this season). Now that it's back on the sidestand, which is when the leaking would mostly occur, it appears to have stayed dry. And after a 30 min shakedown, no signs of oil dripping on to the pipes. Fingers crossed that it will hold up for the season, but... so far, so good.
