New update after another productive weekend! Thanks Cali_Rider for all the help!
We dropped the forks to replace the oil and re-packed the steering bearing (which needed it badly!)... The chain was also thoroughly cleaned (off the bike) and the master link was swapped with a new one.
Cali_Rider helped install a hoist in my garage (Harbor Freight rocks! it was $10!)... here are a few pics:
Also, my hotbodies track plastics got delivered this morning!! (I just checked the tracking info)... which means I am only waiting on the Ron Ayers parts (delivery expected for Wednesday), along with the braided brake lines (bastards said "stock" on their website, but it was actually on back order...)... hopefully I'll get the lines this week too...
