Sorry, I went through my receipts (2 inch thick folder) and didn't see it. They were not expensive, however, and I found them on a bike website. I liked the color and the size was almost what I wanted (a bit too long).

Cheers!

Thanks - labor of love. Hoping to post some pics of the new paint job this spring when it's completed.

Hello all,

Just did a minor upgrade, including the following:

- new plugs, but old ones looked ok and gap was fine;
- new gaskets on the cooling tubes;
- new gaskets on the carbs where they seat on the engine (#3 was hissing, losing pressure);
- all fluids changed;
- got rid of the oil dipstick on the front (I check the window/change my oil regularly, and it didn't make it go faster);
- new Metzler shoes, 888s Ultras - went down a size on front. Now running 120/80-17, down from 120/90-17. Still have 140/90-B16 on rear;
- painted rear rim to match the front;
- added some more blue on the shelter and side panels and got rid of the badges (if you know, you know);
- new water pump housing and new gasket (old housing was cracked where the flush nut went in - found one on ebay)
- added front fender from Sane Motion Moto;
- new brake fluid in both brakes;
- new clutch fluid;
- added Yamaha R1 front fender parts to go with the new fender;
- new headlight;
- new gas/reserve tank valve;
- new gas filter;
- main drive clean out and new fluids, and;
- sanded/painted the exhaust system and ditched the wrap.

Greased and torqued everything to the number (Yamaha and Honda).

Thought I'd share some pics. Safe travels all.

Looking good. Nice updates for years of better performance.
