      • Welll....after the rear tire spit out the air valve, I figured God was telling me something. I replaced the Pirellis (8500 miles) with Michelin Pilots and upped the preload on the rear shock...Rides like a NEW bike!

        • Started work on my 88 Katana today. Pretty much stripped it down, found out my RK chain kit isn't going to fit (rear sprocket). Plus it's too cold.

          • I rode it for the first time since my test ride, which was down the street and back! After several weeks of fiddling, it was together 'enough' for a ride today. Old tires, fairings hanging on with two misfit bolts each (blame the PO) and no rear fairings, but I took it for a spin around several blocks. Hooray!

            To get to that point: sync'd the carbs, reassembled the POR-15'd gas tank, put tank back on, aired up the tires. Plus several other weeks of fiddling.

            • replaced some poorly cut and reversed wires for my front LED turn sigs.

              reminder, on post kats, when adding polarity specific LED bulbs, that the front turn bulb sockets are reversed. No matter for incandescent, but polarity specific needs to have the pins on the connector swapped

                • Last weekend I started to take the fairings off of the bike to clean them up and do some hardcore old decal removal around some of the lower pieces (my boyfriend thinks I'm weird because I've been washing the parts in the bathtub). I also got my custom pin stripes ordered today and those should be coming in soon so I can put them on before putting the parts back on the bike.

                      • Got a 10 mile rideout today. Moving into a country pub (upstairs!) in a few weeks so lots of diy to do, unfortunately in the pub rather than outside on the bike!!
                        Ok, so i'm from the UK, don't hold it against me! I love my 1999 GSX750F.

                        • I put on some Kevlar brake pads on the back, touched up the paint, bled all the brakes, and rode around a bit.

                          • Fired her up for the first time today and went for a short ride (it's 28 degrees here today). smoked like a ***** for the first ten minutes till it warmed up and then she was good to go!!! Come on spring!!!

                              I bet that was really painful dude, when one of my toys goes down a part of me is dead inside
                              On a side note I looked at my kat today, it is cold and was SUPPOSED to rain, but it didn't. Was gonna take the wife on a ride today..another day then
