Once I'm over Covid the K6 project will continue. I have an engine stand coming which should make cleaning and painting/polishing the engine much easier. I pulled my 1981 CB750F out of the shed, turned on the gas and immediately had a large puddle of gas on the ground. That will teach me to not run it dry. The brakes seem to dragging too. So, push the K6 aside for a bit. Cliff.

 Took delivery of my new Ikon 3610 rear shock last night. 15 minutes to install. spent time cleaning and re-lubing the fasten points. Took the bumblebee out for an hour ride today, on settings they set up for me and the pannier kit I have. Astounding difference, positive. +    Played around with the rebound a bit but put it back to the setting they set up for the information I gave them. A vast improvement over the Progressive shock I had, plus it doesn't wear against my rear tire like the Progressive did.
 Situation #2 done!!

I was waiting on some fasteners to button up the front plastic on the Goldwing.  They arrived today so I can finish the front end this week.  While I was waiting I pulled the rear brake pads and ordered a new set.  I probably won't have them before Christmas so that job has to wait til Jan.  That pretty much finishes the Goldwing, other than checking the sidecar brake.  I'm going to need a new front tire next summer so will probably order it in the new year.

  Another mini project,,,,,,factory oem tank bag, the 2 straps on the back that hook under the back of the tank, are attached to stretch bands about 2" wide. They've deteriorated from age [1992 purchase]. I found a boot and leather repair guy near Guildford Mall,  recommended by Shail's MC that will stitch in new stretch bands no problem.

     I've gotta recommend this little shop for any leather repairs on boots, leather jackets, etc. The repair on my tank bag was actually pretty impressive! And inexpensive!!!

  Last minute decision to change the fork
Oil on the big red pig (XR650L) , went from a 1/2 hr drain to a 3 hr mess, as inn2004 , Honda bean counters decided to save $.50 per dinosaur to negate the drainage screw at the bottom Of the fork. So, fork removal is the new drainage method. I’ve been wanting to change to a thicker fluid to stop the 10” fork dive, original fluid in an ‘08. Found the 8000 km front brake pads to be inside of 2mm left of pad material, not impressed with Galfer on that situation!  Fortnine 11pm order processed, free shipping, 1 tax. The red pig still lives!!’
