I have my friends 02 in my garage. We're correcting years of neglect. So far...
Fork seals and bushings
Nitron rear shock
Flush all fluids, replace all filters
Replace Plugs
Remove SAS and Smog (it's a CA model)
New seat foam and cover
Grips
Exhaust can repaired, new rivets
Front fairing support being painted black (pending)
Started fitting the replacement fairings. These were customer ordered as the owner wants to remove the silver from the bike. The logos were changed from silver to white. The silver part of the tank is going to get wrapped in color matching red. Still a work in progress but it's looking good.

Did that Nissin radial come off another bike or did you buy it somewhere?

checked the wheel alignment today, cut a piece of wood the same width as rear tyre and placed it on the front tyre with a string loop front to rear, centred the front rim and steering with a tape measure from the string

chain adjusters to straighten things up

left and right measurements taken from adjuster blocks to swingarms end after aligning, pretty spot on

swingarm marks pretty good welll,it is a honda

All complete........until the next adventure.

The dark shadowing is done by a black Thermochromic layer that "shadows" the graphics below 86 degrees F. The last picture is outside just warming up. This is where the Thermochromic layer goes transparent and you can see the graphics and carbon more clearly. Its not a great picture due to reflections and solvents still flashing off from what seems like 5000 coats of clear but hey, she runs well for 20 yrs old.

Took the piggy to the track Monday. Had a great time but had to retire early due to upset tummy. Yes, that's a rocking chair and it's awesome. I'm old

Oil change with motul 300v and cleaned up the PC install. The battery tray has a little spot made for the PC5, worked out perfectly.
