Well just thought I would post as it's a quiet Sunday and ages since I wrote anything.
From a technical perspective here's the list :
Had the Ducati rev. Counter restored and it came back beautiful from Peter Bond in the UK. Not cheap but good. The needle still vibrates a bit, but I think it's as good as it gets. Also changed oil, and filter I used 15W40 mineral oil. I also repainted the frame under the rear master cylinder, which must have come in contact with brake fluid as it was rusting a bit.
I am in the process of redoing the fairing on the FZR, I have 2 repaired side fairings that have been primed and the rear side panels. I have 2 nose fairings both a bit broken. The one that Carly broke, has the least damage so I got my soldering iron out for a bit of plastic welding. Which went quite well,I managed to weld the inside and outside and used tie wraps as filler rods. I fibre glassed over the inside of the cracks and filled a hole with fibre glass and gelcoat which isn't really solidifying, I will wait.
The Daytona was the last bike to be used before the shutdown, so I cleaned it yesterday and touched up the frame wheels where paint has been chipped off. I have this silver paint of a well known brand which is great! And leaves a good finish.
I am starting to think about how to convert a clothes drier filter into basic air filters for the RG, but so far little creativity is abound!
I cleaned the garage floor so all the bikes were out on a splendid sunny day.
