Last
week I replaced the front brakeline, the battery and the
sparkplugs. Stock batterycover fits now too. I took her
for the first testride to Aad's place. Apart from some
very noisy valves and a rear brake that was getting very
hot she ran fine! When the bike had cooled off I adjusted
the valves, which cured the noise. She ran a lot stronger
after that too! The rear brake took some more work, more
about that later.
I
found a cheap set of saddlebags on the Internet, and soon
found out they were in worse shape than I thought. One
of them had a large hole in it, which I fixed already.
At the moment I am sanding and primering them, think I
will paint them in the same Ivory color as the bottom
of the tanks. The keys were missing but the local locksmith
was able to make some new ones. I am looking for a couple
of the clamps that go on the bottom of the saddlebags;
of the 4 on this set 2 need replacing.
