well...it's been a fun few months...but I think it's time to break her down.

Need to split the case as oil is leaking out from between the seam. Also...all lights need rewired or something...headlight started going on and off while riding at night, smacking it helped...may be just in the bucket...haven't looked yet.

Time to tear her down and lose a bunch of parts.

for ***** and giggles I wire wheeled the hell out of the bottom of the bike last night, spread out some loctite 515, then covered all of it with permatex ultra grey. May only get a day or two out of riding it before it starts it's oil period again but hey... that's 1-2 days of riding.
