  • I had been riding to work all this week. I didn't feel like riding today though.

    • Started sanding the body down the fairings and purchased another crush washer. Hopefully when I change the crush washers the drip from the drain plug will stop

      • paid for two more parts, shipping hopefully tomorrow!

        and i was riding today and i am pretty sure i made it to almost 45 degrees in a lean for the first time ever. awesome feeling! if not 45 degrees, then definitely the lowest i have gotten. and i knew i was in complete control the whole time!

        • Ordered Fieldsheer Expander Saddlebags, chain wax, and an oil filter from the Motorcycle Superstore. The saddlebags were on sale. Looking forward to that first trip to the Ozarks in Arkansas with these mounted.

          • Last weekend it was an oil change and chain cleaning. I painted my wind scree flat black. This weekend im going to do a white Punisher skull on it. But im on it riding back in forth just about every day.

            • Got it buttoned up from adjusting the valves, replacing cam chain tensioner, cleaning/synching the carbs and cleaning/lubing the chain. Runs like a raped-ape now and doesn't sound like a sewing machine anymore.

              Took it for about a 5 mile ride after I got it all done and a storm started blowing in like crazy. Barely beat the weather to my house!

              Sure feels good to be back on the bike though.

                • Got all the tumbling stones out of my tank and started electrolysis. It has made a surprising amount of progress already. Also bought new fuel filters. Should be ready to try firing her up in a couple days.

                        That would do it!!

                        I removed plastix from my katbusa so far today. wiring the clock on mreedohio's bike since the post harness didn't have it. That is just this morning. I also watered the grass seed I put down. now for the rest of the day for the boys and enjoy the 84 degree high today.

                        • On Friday my oil drain plug, I must have stripped the threads , fell out while I was riding slicking up the back tire causing me to go down . I am fine but the Kat is a little banged up. I lost a mirror and added some new road rash to my bike. Awesome!!

                          • Clean her up and rode her to my DK MC meeting. Also we took a family portrait...The Katana and I.

                            • Electrolysis is proceeding beautifully on the tank, should be good to go tomorrow. Got my fuel filters and lines hooked back up. Started sanding fairings in preparation for painting. Unfortunately it's not looking good for getting the bike back together before I need to head back to school on Tuesday. Looks like I'll be taking the car
