| perfect time to clean the bike while the engine is out | | | new motorcycle jack makes working on the bike easier | | | it gets everything to an easier height to work on. no more laying on the concrete floor | | | the tachometer face screws were loose, bummer | |
| | clutch handle lever was broken. i didnt remember that | | | notice those damned screws are not where they should be | | | headlight removed, ready to replace broken turn signals | |
| turn signal mounting bolt broken in half | | | | both turn signals fitted and working | | | old grip for a dirt bike, kind of hard and had open ends | |
| | new gel grip a little softer and has closed ends | | | rear wheel back on so the bike is off the lift and ready for the engine | | | engine is ready to be put back in to the bike, still needs a better cleaning that is for another day | |
| engine refitted, starting to look like a real bike again | | | | |
| broke gauge glass trying to remove the bevel to screw the face back into place | | | x750 tach was cheap on ebay, took it apart to use the glass | | | lock tight the hell out of those screws | | |
| back in the bike, does not look as good as stock, but better than a loose face or broken glass | | | petcock was leaking so tank is back off again, just about a real bike again | | | old chain was not too stretched out... too bad I could not find master link. it was slightly rusty | | |
