It’s rainy out here.

We did this two years ago, so it’s in good shape.

Good!

The ball joints are wearing down. I’m noticing that oil-cooled bikes age year after year.

Can’t remove it, so we’ll check it. ★ Making it removable when we install it is the way to go.
We’ll trim it off on our own again.

We don’t often tap ETC power and ground with Giboshi connectors, but this time we’re doing it based on how the work is progressing.
We picked this one from our stock of electrical materials! Now it’s detachable. ★

The sidestand still has some oil residue.

The sidestand could be lighter, but I’m hesitant to mess with it unnecessarily, so we’re keeping it stock. ★
I occasionally see aftermarket stands with a single spring, and honestly, that makes me a bit nervous.
The old blog is here. ★
