GSF1200 Gale Speed brake master replacement, oil change, fluid change, and more

It’s getting cold, then hot again—my body’s all out of sync, man.
The parts arrived, so we’re moving right along.

Remember when I mounted the ETC antenna in a weird spot and nearly strangled myself?
I made a sheet metal bracket that mimics the clutch side—not something I usually fabricate.

By the way, I bent it the wrong way once, coated it with Guncoat, and… it became junk.

Why do I always mess up and bend it backward?
*It’s a lack of double-checking, that’s what.
Even when I bent it correctly, it was touching the ETC antenna, so it was a total loss anyway!

Does God even exist?

Made it slightly shorter and tried again.

Finished it up looking roughly symmetrical left and right.

That’s the idea. I often wrap cable ties around spots that might rub to protect them.

After that, I did a complete front and rear fluid change.

Tomorrow I’ll take it for a test ride and it should be done. Will it finally be sunny? (Yesterday was nice though.)
