Well I discovered today that my hands dont like thick foam grips so I had to go back to normal ones. I got pains in the palm of my hands from a short distance

Guess what I just put on my bike today!

I'm guessing foam grips

A Betty Boop seat cover and a playboy bunny sticker?

With a fragapani sticker?

I replaced the brake fluid with some Valvoline 3&4 Synthetic Fluid. The old fluid was tired and dirty.

Did I have anything to do with it?

Maybe

Getting ready for a 300 mile round trip group run in 30 min...

Finally get to put some loving into her.

I looked at it and wondered if we should hit some asphalt, but naw, crazy people are out and it all wet. 

Changed the oil, bled the brakes, cleaned the carbs, put in 42.5 pilot jets, adjusted float height, replaced spark plugs, added a new chainguard from Adidasguy (after painting it black,) put it back together, synced carbs, and was pleasantly suprised when the bike actually started up.

Replaced spark plugs - properly gapped them this time too.
Took a nice motorway run to home and back and researching what jets to order..

May i ask why you put 42.5 pilot jets? I thought the 40 were ok to leave in?.. Any improvements with those ones?

My bike has been running lean on the low end, regardless of what I do to it with my current setup (150 mains, 40 pilots.)  My idle mix screws are out more than 4 turns, so I figured I'd go one size up and screw them back in to 2.5 turns.  From what I have observed so far the throttle is smoother (normally stumbles up to 2500 and then surges quickly,) and returns back to idle.  I will know a little more when I can actually take it out (it's a little cold in Pennsylvania this weekend.)

After I powerwashed the house siding and fixed my POS Mazda...

Installed PAIR block-off plates that I bought off Flea-bay.  They say "BUSA" on them, but they were cheap.  Then I put the fairings back on.  Will bolt the tank back on tomorrow. 

It's supposed to be nice here tomorrow in SW Ohio.  May have to ride.  Yeah...time to ride.  Honey-doo list can wait.

rode my bike up 7 steps 

Rejetted the carbs to 20/65/145 and installed the K&N lunchbox (installed Jardine RT 1 full exhaust last weekend). Gave the chain a lube.

Well fitted up new fork brace today. It's a nice snug fit, I've got a thread in the for sale section, I'll make up to 10, get in quick.

I lubed the chain, plus checked the oil.
I just had it changed 1400 miles ago.
The good news is:  oil looks pretty clean.
Bad news:  it was below "low" marker! Yikes!
Added a quart. sigh.

Replaced fuel lines, added in-line fuel filter.  Cleaned rear caliper, installed new pads, removed rear wheel, replaced rear brake rotor.

this morning i installed my 89 clip ons on my newly acquired 92. i may have to adjust the spacing on the controls a bit but eh. works for now.
didnt have time for pics till this evening. good camera though.
before

after


also one of the neighborhood kids came to me with one of those little pocket rocket bikes. lost the key some how so i hotwired it for him and charged his battery.
