Well, two weeks without my ride is like an eternity here in the land of year 'round rides. New rear tire, service battery, lots of cleaning and changing of fluids, lubing clutch cable, final drive splines packed with grease and the hardest of all was the brake disc on the rear. The PO left it too long and seriously scored the disc and a replacement is an arm and two legs, so carefully indicating in the old lathe and some carbide bits and its like new. I had to take about .007" from each side to clean it up. I asked around and nobody would turn it, they said it was too thin for their equipment, so I had nothing to lose and it worked out just fine. I feel lucky my '79 XS1100 model F is running SSSOOOOooo good and everything works just like new, even the turn signal cancelling.
