Today I filled the primary with one quart.

Take a look at that old fluid...blah!

Now draining the transmission. I'll let it drip out overnight.



Better clean the old lady’s dish good before you put it back, lol!

No kidding, mine gave me hell for using her hairspray for grip glue and I forgot to bring it back in the house.

Finally got around to doing new exhaust. The bike had Samson Cannons and a set of XIEDs on it when I bought it:



Which I replaced with a Bassani Road Rage 3 and a Micro EFI tuner from Fuel Moto.



It was pouring down rain when I finished, so had to settle for an in the garage after pic, and I hadn't swept up yet when I took it, thus the evidence of the mid project Nerf gun war with my 5 year old.

Installed my new Power Commander V and it was warm enough to give her a test ride, man what a difference it made. It feels like a different bike to me.

That looks great gearhead! I like your shop!

Tonight, I drained the old oil. I will let it drip out overnight. I did not have the correct tool to remove the old oil filter so I poked holes in the old one with a screwdriver and hammer. Damn that sum-bitch was on there. I chipped the frame a wee bit, which I don't mind that much; but over time the chips add up -next thing you know your bike is a piece of ****, lol.

I put a nice new shiny new chrome oil filter on there. All the magnetic drain plugs for the three fluids were clean and clear. I suppose that's a good sign. It sure isn't a bad sign.

You do know that black oil filters are faster?
