You'll find Snarf's pegs are very easy to install and are sweet on longer rides.

Painted the valve cover a nice fresh coat of black and reinstalled on Dad's bike.  Added Snarf's block-off plates.  Tightened some of the oil lines (banjo bolts) on the engine.  A few had worked a little loose and were weeping oil.  Maybe I should lock-tite them?  Tonight will be T-Cro's coils.  Then it will be off to redo the rear end, seals, fender bob, and all.

Replaced one of the little o-rings on the left carb of my bike under the vacuum cut-off cover.  It split and was a vacuum leak.  No change in performance, just don't hear it now.  Actually, I replaced it by cutting a sliver length of very small vacuum hose.

Hi RFH87,

Where can I get Snarf's block off plates? These are for the valve cover, right? It sure would make doing valve jobs easier if I didn't have all that dang secondary air stuff to deal with!

Use the search engine (at the top) when you are on the HOME page and search for "block off".  His name is Chris Lillie.  I'll bet he'll be along any minute.  Takes just a minute to install them (After digging down to them).

He's also listed under the sale section.  Good quality stuff and the price is right.

Put all the tupperware  back on and rode her to breakfast and later too work. Feels good to be riding again after over two weeks absence. Had to wait till new rider foot peg and mounting bracket arrived (dont ask). Cleaned all the fairings and applied black magic to the bags.

My fingers hurt from working on her last night.  Plus, it was 91 degrees in the garage because it hit 102 here yesterday.  Went far enough in to pull the radiator, oil cooler, and oil lines.  Then did the front coolant log o-rings, then all the short coolant hoses.  Painted the lower fairing frame and the radiator screens.  They'll be going back on next along with the top radiator hoses and T-Cro's wire harness.  Then maybe finally start working on the rear - after I relocate the coolant overflow container.  I saw Man-of-Blues pix on Cogzilla - must do that.  Hopefully it will let some more air flow thru the bottom.

Now I'm looking for two replacement oil cooler lines. mine are caracking at the crimp.  Pete, you out there?

IIRC a few people were using the coolant container from Ninja 250's.  It will fit behind or beneath the battery box.

I've seen that.  However, Man-of-Blues method just uses existing pieces (including the hoses).  The ultimate in frugal.  It fits between the fender and battery box, just below the igniter, using some "industrial strength" Velcro to keep it from shifting.  Somewhere on his photobucket pix, you can see it.

I finally replaced the dented muffler!  ;D

I think it's finally presentable, although I have been riding it for several months.

Man I love this bike.

Valve adjustment, replaced the fan switch and t-stat, drain and fill coolant, installed a used centerstand, (the original finally broke) and went on a 200 mile ride to test the repairs.

I got in line for a Rick Mayer custom seat.  Sent him pictures, money, and one of my two stock seats.  Can't WAIT for the results!
