Been doing some cleanup on it.

Got rid of all those hideous graphics (just not my thing) and have been fine-tooth-combing everything. Just added a little sticker on the swing arm to zest it up a tad.

Found that the vacuum petcock was failed and never shut the gas off (common problem), so I put on a manual one.

Most importantly, I got rid of those wore out old knobbys and mounted my Shinko 700's with extra thick tubes. Thanks to many offerings to the Gawds of Pinched Tubes, I got up this morning and they were still holding air! Woo Hoo!

Oh! I also put the stock exhaust back on. The Leo Vince was too loud for my old ears. Then the stock exhaust was too quiet! Sounded like an old Honda 90. Ended up getting a billet end cap with spark screen. That put the exhaust note right where I wanted it.
