Here is a picture and where I bought it. The company is Motosport but I just ordered it off amazon. Ships fast and I got it in days. To me it fits my 2009 GSF colors and even matches the strips.

Found some new roads and chipped away a little more chicken strip.

Checked/adjusted float height. Right side was about 4mm high. Had been difficult starting, much better now.  Bought spark plugs, to be installed some time this week.

Flick got a new fuel hose today. I had another relay for him but turns out this one was fine. After that drained the carbs and he's doing okay

I filled her up...$15!!! That's a first for me. Ever since the gas prices went up I've been slowly paying more and more...I miss the $10 days.

I miss the $4 daze. When I could fill up my old VW  Sunbug for $4.
I got Suzi an aux. outlet to plug into my battery tender pigtail. Cellphone  charger enabled, now.

How much would it cost to fill up a bike then? lol

In 1978 I could fill my Yamaha 125 two-stroke enduro for a dollar and change.  

There is no reason for the high gas prices we pay today other than we're allowing our politicians to sell-out our interests.  Call your members of Congress and demand we allow expanded domestic oil production, then vote against them if they don't.  Repeat the cycle until we have success.  Candidates will get better once the people are paying attention and voting accordingly.  There's no good reason not to, unless you want your country to die.  High fuel prices kill everything concerning the economy.  We won't allow domestic oil companies to drill in the Gulf of Mexico like we did for decades, while WE PAY FOREIGN COUNTRIES LIKE BRAZIL TO DO EXACTLY THAT!  It's sickening! (Nothing against Brazil, we're just stupid!)

And what did I do for my bike today?  I just appreciated it while riding it to work, saying goodbye to winter, ran a long errand, enjoying every second of it, thinking about how this little bike is still my favorite.  It's a perfect everyday running around bike. (as long as you're not very tall, which I'm not)

Tightened the chain and pumped the back tyre up again. One of the plugs is leaking

[nydad19]

changed a couple of hoses...checked the float heights..set the idle just right..quick wipe down and check all round...got a weird clickin noise all of a sudden on the left side gotta check it out tomorrow

[reload]

replaced battery cables and the starter relay. it was just too disgusting to look at with all the corrosion. plus some po managed to melt a fuse into the relay housing. makes me wonder...if it was hot enough to melt, why didn't it blow 

[Janx101]

[Mart3y]

Lol, well I stuffed that post up, damn phone  but it was meant to say:

Getting new tyres fitted. Pirelli Sport Demons again. Got a bit more than 10,000 miles out of the old set, so I'm happy with that.

The shop got my order a little wrong (put me down for bloody Dunlops), so I had to go to their other shop to get them fitted. Now I'm sitting around a cafe waiting for them to finish my bike. Might walk back to the shop and see if I can demo a few bikes. Don't come off restrictions for a few weeks, but might look at a few cruisers while I wait. Want to ride a Z1000 or the new Ninja 1000 (not ZX-10R), but I know they wont let me.

Changed my oil and filter and put a wix filter in it  :  )
