    Thanks for the encouraging comments.....

    I am trying to get an order placed with Boulevard Suzuki, (they take forever to reply to emails, but it's how they want to deal with International orders) for a few bits and pieces, odds and ends, rubber boots on the brakes and things like that, the little gear for the shock, and brake pads, so waiting on that, can't find the M10 fine threaded bolts, so far all is in coarse thread, so I might have to use the old bolts

    Worse case is bike is getting dusty in the garage....,,,I have to keep on dusting it to keep it clean

    ohhhhh the joy.....

    getting some nice weather today, and for the weekend, going to try and get a few outside pictures of the bike in the sun.....wooo hoooo

          Thanks....

          fortunately for me it's winter, so no riding anyways, good time to do stuff like this, and all that was supposed to be done from day one, was a simple oil change.....

            Too funny GK. That was my plan with my bike... just get it road worthy but then it went crazy.

                Ditto. I thought, "I may take it down to the frame." We should watch what we think right?

                      I am afraid of becoming like you. But... meh.. it's inevitable.
                      There is something about these bikes that makes me want ten more.

                            GK,

                            What size M10 and pitch do you need. ACE harware has crazy amounts of bolt sizes ( all but the 6mm x 90mm they have upto 80 but not 90). If I can find a em for you I could mail them to you.

                              Hey Paul....

                              Thanks for the offer, have a look here in this thread it will give you all the info required



                              actually they don't even need to be Stainless Steel, can be plated, it will look like SS, more like chrome, but will give me the same effect, and consistency with the rest...

                              hope you have better luck in finding them than I do....

                              Cheers
