So,
remaining work

fluid three times

hmm, air blow it and we’ll get to it next time!

apparently someone installed a new muffler on it somewhere,
but the 4-2-1 makes contact with the frame…
The owner had rigged up some kind of brake master cylinder tank-style bracket to make it work.
I loosened the exhaust pipe and managed to check it,
but is the problem the diameter of this silencer?
The clearance is pretty tight.
so I took the liberty of

removing the silencer band area which was all cluttered up
and lowered the step.

this might be about as far as we can go ★
Since I did it on my own, it’s on the house.
So no lightening holes or anodizing either ★
I relocated the horn too.
