Disassembled the front end today. The forks have rust and will need a good clean and polish. I flushed them with diesel, pumping the rod and...
Thanks for another great tip! This kind of support and knowledge sharing is why these forums are so good....
Good idea. Yeah, those shiny new nipples are from my sync kit. The "before" pic shows the old nipples with tube for the PAIR system which...
Got the cooling system nearly done... [ATTACH] Would be done if I had included the water pump o-ring in my order. So now I have to wait for...
+1 on the V4 dreams stuff. Good guy.
Yeah I considered that. Honda didn't see a need for it so I think I will see if I am satisfied with where the harness runs and can add some...

I followed others’ recommendation from here to drill out the rivets and tap. There’s a Youtube video on this specific petcock here: [MEDIA] I...
