YUM I love the smell of new parts in the morning.

Some disassembly this evening... found that not only does my bike have the TRE, but also already has the airbox mod... however, it still has the PAIR valve - WTF.

Anyway, that's a project for another day, but the hack job removing the flappers and sealing it with some kind of construction adhesive is worth a look.

Not sure how I want to go about redoing that... maybe get a stock airbox and start over...

Oh and WTF is this that I found hiding under the steering head?

Looks like the connection for the horn.

horn is located above the top radiator

Doh! I'm a fucking moron... I knew that when I first found it when I took off my fairings... then I forgot... many a beer between then and now...

You'll have that on the larger scale projects.

I've done that too. You think you know what every connection is, but a few weeks go by, and then its time to get out the ol' dealer manual and start searching.

I think I'm going to do some more airbox work, brakes / rotors, and get a new clutch. I put new fluid in over the summer, SS lines a few years back and still doesn't have the bite it used to.

Are the clutches on the S and the R similar? I need to replace the clutch on my S. I picked up a clear cover and an annodized pressure plate. When I last tried running the bike I had a major oil leak, wasnt sure if the pushrod seal went or was from the countershaft.

I have my mini airhorn on my truck... it never worked (has an internal short), so I might rip that thing off, fix it, and run that... Just depends on if I have the real estate for it.... things should be pretty tight on this build.

any space on the subframe, a friend mounted a horn like that on his ducati there.

That I don't know.

Where did you get your anodized pressure plate from?

I've got the riflemans clear cover.

I need to get back over to TLzone to see what's the latest and greatest, haven't been over there for a while.
