What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

Fitted a new screen, I'm glad it came with the paper work, simple but tricky, I wouldn't have thought to pull the mirrors off myself. And getting those gromets out was a mission until I applied some silicon spray.

Levers are next, Chinese pegs didn't fit! They didn't come down flat but stopped at a 20-deg angle, Unbelievable!! I could have ground them but it would have been tricky. and the brake pads were not needed but will be one day.

Very nice and clean looking!
 
Look up agent orange Okinawa on internet it tells it all .
It took my cousin up to 4 years ago to get the VA to recognize his Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam.....

He died before he could even get his first compensation cheque....

He told me they would see the aircraft flying over spraying and then have it drip down on them as they walked underneath.......

Nasty stuff.......
 
Cleaned the air filter, lubed and tightened chain...now crying because it's worse...
 
Rubber seal on clutch M/C started leaking on Monday. Slave has been leaking a while...1/2 my sprocket cover had no paint! Ordered kit for both cylinders from Brakecrafters, which came in today! I need to get the pushrod saver if @Berlin Germany still sells them.

Used a syringe to pull fluid thru bleeder valve. Took a while with only 20cc, but worked. Dad shined up the slave piston with brass brush and almost no pitting.

Front tire (Road 5) needed to be swapped, and I didn't wanna wait any longer.

Rear on stand, straps on tank area of frame, blocks and jack under center exhaust for extra stability.
My Road 5 had maybe 15k on it? Put it on in 2020 and I've put on over 10k this year alone. Tread still there, but the center has a "ridge" and you really feel it dive off that ridge when turning. Couple areas on right side are really shallow compared to other side.

Went with Power 6 for giggles...Road 6 already on rear.

lol...I'de say you got your money's worth out of that tire...
 
I spent some time in the shed. I seem to have acquired more projects than I have time, money, energy or enthusiasm for. Had a few hours moving stuff around and trying to plan some sort of mental priority list. The Gen-3 isn’t getting the miles I bought it for, the Gen-2 hasn’t been to the drags it was bought for, the naked Gen-1has been a bit neglected.

Yep
I had too many bikes years ago(sad to say such a thing)
I have 2 now and keep a friend's, so really 3.
I'de really like a TL1000R, and a Grom, and it easily becomes too much to keep up with along with the rest of life's responsibilities.
I don't have to take kids to school in the summer, so I figure I could ride a different one to work every day, lol.
But, for now, I'll spend my other bike money modding the 2 that I have...
