Ticked over 60,000kms 

Called Tranzac and found out I have to go without my 450 for two weeks to get the header fixed and re-coated...

For a great mechanic try Oz Racing http://www.ozracing.biz at Carina

Got the new keys, put everything back together, lube the chain, quick ride and a gas up to figure out what needs to be done. Need to realign the headlight, put some air in the tires, and adjust the faring (didn't put it on quite straight). That PLUS I need to finally get that little oil leak fixed. Adidas, weather is beautiful out right now, should be good again tomorrow, but it doesn't look like the weekend is going to cooperate weather-wise. I'm keeping it open anyways.

Here's a pick with my 1st gen 4runner....



And just the GS...

Cheers Michael, bit out of my way and I tend to do all my mechanical work myself, but this time it's repairing my custom 2 into 1 made by Tranzac... which makes me sad...

60,000 service done. No problems to report. Running like a top.

Nice bike, Suggestion get rid of the blue grips.

Cleaned 'er up, cleaned and conditioned the seat, and installed a progrip tankpad. Thinking of maybe changing the bulbs out for LEDs on the control panel next.

Yeah I've been meaning to do that, but I haven't been focused too much on aesthetics recently. The same kinda thing with a bit of white on it would probably look good.... I'd like to put a little bit of red somewhere on the bike, but I'd need more than just the grips.

Strapped a timex watch to the brake fluid reservoir. I'm always wondering what time it is when riding, and hate wearing watches. Hopefully it'll hold up well, it's supposed to be waterproof.

This one has been on my bike for 4-5 years.  Velcro'd to the top triple.  No problems.

I installed my Zero Gravity smoked sport touring wind shield that Addidas sourced for me. I didnt get a chance to ride because it was getting dark and cold. Maybe tomorrow. Ill have some pics tomorrow also.

I too have been thinking about switching to LEDs. What kind of conditioner do you use on your seat?

Tightened the chain for the third time in 30 days. I figure this chain is on its last legs and I'll have to replace it along with the sprockets.

Currently trying out Meguiar's Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner. They sell both bottles of the stuff and wipe packs--wipes are cheaper, so I bought a 25-pack to try them. Very happy thus far, it makes the seat quite shiny and clean. Wipe it on, wait for it to dry, put the seat back on, done.

Don't know if the conditioner might ruin the paint on the tank, so I've been wiping the front part of the seat extra dry with a cloth.

It does make the seat feel slightly less... "grippy"? during the first ride. You get used to it quick, it just taught me to hold onto the tank with my legs more
