yep!  even when i have the bike in the garage with the lights off, i still get reflection from the ambient light from the kitchen...and that isn't direct light. pretty cool looking.

this is without flash...(and before i mounted the bag stripes)

i removed plastics to inspect and determine cause of coolant leak- I surmise its most likely a hole in the radiator from the drippage on the oil cooler and dripage/spray in general, (and discoloration on radiator).

Also, going to do as much preventative/scheduled maintenace as possible(for me): plugs, air filter, clean, lube.  

Also will  neaten up and protect audio and power wires (for accessories I added).  


If I can find alink with "pics" I will attempt to  check valve clearances, etc.  Although I would gladly compensate some F.U.C.K.E.R. who had done so in the past, that would be willing to assist me.

Need tires and brakes but that will be last, and done by someone who has the right equipment for mounting and balancing.

Returned home after a great weekend. Cleaned and adjusted chain. Consoled my self that it's ok on a public road  to be overtaken by a better bike with a better rider Wink And no I didn't try to chase, maintained my own pace. Now I know how "they" feel... Time for laundry, groceries and the Gp. What time does that start again? Better hurry. What's that bright thing up in the sky? Rolleyes

Oil / filter change and pulled out the front pads to inspect for wear.  Pads are fine for at least another 5000 km.  I will check again on my next oil change.

Reinstalled the license plate brackets for a 3rd time (this time with lock washers, and hopefully the last time), cleaned and lubed the chain.
