Gah! Only one bike? What kind of world would that be?

I love mine.
Only thing is the KZ gets less attention.

New seal on order. Ordered one for the ZRX while I was at it, it's close to 20 years old as well.
Bitch is I never used the send unit. Now I'll scavenge the plate. Weld off the through port and get it ready to seal up the tank. I was going to just build a plate to block it off then noticed the stock plate captures the side walls and the fasteners have a shoulder on them so the gasket isn't crushed. So time to mod this send unit to be a block off plate.

It may be ok to move to the later model gasket since it seems to be crossing over to the 2019 concourse and other later bikes
Will be a couple weeks it seems before I'll see this order.

Little ABS sheet and adhesive fixed it up nicely.
New rubber has no hard lip sot it will work perfectly with the added thickness post glue up.
Dremel Tools are the bees knees. Used the 60 grit sanding cylinder. Muaaaaa.
Tank was treated inside with Por13.
New Tires! Michelin Pilot for a change. Bridgestone rear had to be plugged and front was 12 years old?
Grease up and bin up the parts I see need refresh.
Sliders for the rear brakes opened up with a puff of grease dust. Cleaning, lubing, assembling.
ZRX is coming along well. Just have to get this KZ out of the way to keep going. Brakes and Water systems next.
