    Thanks!As much as I liked the yellow I think the new colours are even better.Got the new sprockets installed,decided to keep the 15/40 gearing.

      Fine I got the sprockets,what about the chain?


      The local dealer had these JT chains on for $88+ tax.Guessing it's a repackaged name brand.Didn't even notice it was gold at first because I opened it in a low light situation.

      It looks pretty good IMHO. Isn't adjusted yet,ran out of daylight.

        nice score on the chain, I should talk to your dealer, see what it would cost me to get a couple of those, need a new one for the GS and one for the FZ....everything I am looking at is over a hundred bucks easy.....

            With the I got a bit of change from $100,sadly I think shipping would be expensive.It's heavy,nearly dropped mine because I wasn't quite expecting it to be so heavy.

              I did it!!! Got the new horns to work!Wired up with a relay Dale(rustybronco) supplied.If it seems I'm over reacting it's because the 78 1000 wiring melt down has me VERY worried about doing any electrical work.I'm quite impressed with how loud these cheap eBay from China horns are. Definite improvement from the stockers.

                So excited I got the horns working I forgot the bad(ish) news.Seems the battery's toast.Pulled the 1000's battery and put that on the charger.Hopefully that will work good enough for now.Will be getting new AGM's for both,the 750 soon.

                  So I put both batteries in,no starter actionSwapped out the solenoid to be sure,nothingDecided to get the starter out,means pulling out the carbs with all the hassles that bringsSo once I got the starter out it was glad ,the one in the bike was sounding crunchy.Have one in my parts stash that's way better.Still on go on turning the motor over but it moved a bit so it was worth while.Found out my wintergreened boot are softer now than when I first did them.

                    Funny how the way you think things should work isn't how they do.Aligned the tabs on the air box boots to the top like I thought they should be.They just would not settle on the carb bells with the #3 carb being VERY stubbornly folding in.Turned 90 degrees and they just popped right down.If there was something in the manual I couldn't find it

                      All back together,mostly for good(I hope ).Seat will be off to the upholsterer tomorrow

                      Got a new Dowco cover,my old cover was bought as a dust cover for the SV.Was good for that but with no extra space I need a real cover for at least 1 bike

                        Finally got the seat to the upholsterer on Sunday.Made a deal for something on the way home http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=218418

                          Got the seat today.As soon as I seen this "fabric" I was sold.it's got some grip to it as well,not a lot but it's there.

                          Was going to wait till morning but I couldn't.Really like it,the old cover will not ghost though anymore either
