Poor girl has been subject to field maintenance, for too many years.
I have two bike dealers in town, for a BIG change. Almost instant new parts gratification, whoopee.
New plastics, tone down the bright white, add another 3/4 gallon, bigger tank.
I overhauled the steering bearings, before @ 6 K miles, back to notchy turning feel, and repair.
I asked for a tapered roller setup, and it was available, no instructions, flying blind.
Working on setting the lower race, top bearing. I have about $ 40 in grade 8, 1/2 X 8" bolt and washers.
Set in place and sitting way proud, but it all barely fits, I can get three turns on the tension nut.
The stack is higher, and the stock bearing overseal won't fit/thread, I need to find a plastic bottle to make a overseal, to keep the grease in place.
New rear fender, new seat, and new muffler, all set.
Forks with new seals, gaiters, and oil.
Had to replace the gas cap already, plastic, heat and fumes caused it to split, I GOOPed it back together, saved for a spare, got an aluminum cap.
