from the local shop today!
What started out as fresh tires and a tune up ended up including a tank
sealing, paint (might as well paint the tank while it's off, right?), a new
chain and sprockets, steering head bearings, tuneup, fork brace, etc, etc.
I replaced the front fender b/c there was a dent in it. Now I know how it
happened. On the very first test drive the homemade 2-1 header hit the
fender under braking. So my "new-from-ebay" fender now has a small dent in
it, too! GRRR! Changed out the rear shocks and put on the Commando exhaust,
as well as some Daytona bars and new grips. Lots and lots of scrubbing and
elbow grease and she's just about done!
I still have some detaililng I want to do, and I have some bar-ends on
order. Also, I replaced a broken tach cable, but the first time I took her
out for a test drive the tach broke...spun the needle all the way around,
breaking it off. It's pretty much dead now. What years will fit/work on an
'83?
Here are a couple of before and after pics. I'll take better "after" pics
soon.

. For a guy...no not so much.
