We get about two or three Yamaha bikes a year. So I guess that’s it for this year?

We’ll polish the drum panel. If you replace it, it gets pretty pricey, and polishing with a buffer and such adds labor costs. Let’s do it together.

It ends up looking like this. This is the state with the finest grit.

Since the subject is bright, the exposure comes out a bit dark. I’m supposed to correct it, but… oh well.

We chose Daytona brand shoes. The new shoes needed initial break-in, and they wouldn’t spin right away, so I got a little worried for a moment.

It looks nice now, but nobody’s going to notice… Only the owner will see it. Paying attention to details nobody else notices—that’s what a hobby is all about, isn’t it?

I remember the SR500 used to go for just a few thousand dollars not that long ago, but now it’s a rare find. I’ll get the rear work done tomorrow.
