  • So far, put on a new chain, and after cutting off the links and getting the length good for a 45 tooth sprocket, noticed that I had a freaking 47 tooth on hand... but oh well..
    Also, got the carbs together and visually sync'd up.
    Swapped rims to the better ones with good tires.
    Installed rear brake pads since they were all metal to metal..
    Changed out the choke cable with one that isn't broken..
    Gave a front rim, brake lever, and kick stand to my homie gsxfjim for coming out and helping me with my bike today
    Still to come, oil change, gasket change, and trying to start 'er up!!!
    Edit: forgot,
    Swapped seat key/lock mechanisms from a broken one to a excellent one.

              • I just bought an 04 tail assembly with everything included, black....just waiting for the shipment so I can swap out the tail.

                I like the factory 01 tail, I just like the 03+ better

                Hopefully the black is the same-but it not hopefully close enough

                    • Let's see...after a day of running around, coaching a baseball practice, was finally able to start wrenching some on the Kat. Got about 3 hours of time in...

                      - Installed fairing stay
                      - Mounted headlight
                      - Mounted gauges and hooked everything up
                      - Removed the front wheel (new Z6 going on tomorrow)
                      - Removed the old chain
                      - Removed the front sprocket cover and sprocket
                      - Removed the rear wheel

                              • got the bike out on the road (Sun.)!

                                BUT...........the new license plate bracket I made took to the air somewhere on the freeway.....
                                The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.'
