I won't be able to bring my whole tool box, is there anything I should bring? I have gasket sealer, a torque wrench, etc...

Thanks! Now I have to figure out what else to buy since they have a $30 minimum... shouldn't be a problem! hmmm, how about some new carb boots? mine look like petrified leather...

Mine are terrible too! I looked on that parts-n-more site and couldn't find any. Am I missing something? I'd love to replace those carb boots...

Mike, it really seems like you are putting a lot of time and money into your MNS. How is it proceding thus far?

[Michael March]

So far so good. Did the dremel fix, works perfectly. Got new/old original black chrome pipes, they sound and look great (but you already knew that!). Got tkat's fork brace installed. Replaced the cracked rear tire with a dunlop. Got a new air cleaner and gave the dead mouse a decent burial (cremated him actually). Changed all fluids. Bought some nice used leather bags for forty bucks. Made a back rest that adjusts to driver or passenger positions. Recovered the seat with an upholsterer friend (another freebie). Ordered new carb boots (not sure if mine are leaking, but they are full of cracks). All told, I've got about $500 in repairs and upgrades, after buying the bike for $1000 (after selling my Honda GL1000 for same). It is not perfect, but it runs great and I'm planning some painting projects (heat fins, touch up on various black spots) next. I do have a nice hand-painted bald eagle on the tank which looks terrific too, but that was done for free too (it pays to be the pastor of a Church sometimes!). Thanks for asking--
