TOPIC:

Today have I test mounted the new exhaust, it looks to fit perfect. I have now packed down again and will sent it coating tomorrow.
I will properly not be able to install it before I take the bike out from the storage room in April? I`m afraid of damage it when it move the bike out

These weekend have I balanced my wheels, last winter I replaced the tires without balancing the wheel. I have had some vibration when I have driven... not so heavy that I have done something with it... hopefully is that away now... will be interesting to drive when the season start and see how they perform.
I also did some easy polishing on the rims.

Today have I installed washers on the front fork suspension between the progressive spring and the top cups.
I have missed these part...

I also took some measurement on how much the progressive spring is pushed down when there is not weight on the spring (lifted up the frame in the front).

I have never liked the front fender, the way its mounted to the bracket with 4 bolts and nuts....
I found a new fender on eBay from a kz750 1981 model, I have sanded the fender primed and painted it with new black color.
Sprayed some body spray (dry) to avoid corrosion in the inside of the fender.

I absolutely liked the results, much more clean design "follow" the wheel better...

One task left on the fender I need to make some more space for the brake lines, so they don`t damage the paint when I use the bike.

Really good work and coming along nicely. All of us well north of the equator are like you, anxiously waiting for Spring. Keep the updates coming.

...
I've never seen a fender like that with fasteners on top. so then I checked partzilla & sure enough, that's how some were done. weird.
...

Just the D model 650s were like that I believe.

Coming along well Gordone.

Today have I replaced broken lightbulbs in the instruments.

Starts to got close to season start

Install exhaust and fasten the front brake lines, and then be good to go

I have had problem with the brake lines touch the mud cover, I ordered some spacers on eBay and painted them black, I think the problem is solved now.

I have gotten some help here:

Today took I the bike out for the first time from winter storage, spring is here now

I installed the new exhaust system, happy with the results. I also flushed the gas tank with new gas (have stored it with WD-40).

Looking forward to start up the bike with the new exhaust system, maybe tomorirow

Some picture from todsys work:

Had my first test drive for the season
The bike worked really well!

Lovely to crusing in high speed without vibrations the wheel balacing i did in the winter worked

The tacho meter was not working, wire was broken so have order new...

The speedo meter was also steady.., have jumped around before! Greasing the cable have fixed it.., thank you for the help there
