I had one more minor setback today but got it taken care of.
You can see how the kickstand tab has bent outward, this was causing the bike to lean over far enough for the carb to overflow. I had always thought this bike leaned over a bit further than it should, apparently that stand was already bent and bent even further on me.
So as I mentioned before I put the bike all back together and found major shifting issues. I was also unable to kick start it and found several vacuum leaks. Well, I fixed some of that.
Earlier I had mentioned my custom dash. I even posted a mock up photo:
Now that particular idea didn’t pan out, exactly, but this did.
Here is the process for installing a Seat Concepts (or any other) cover on a typical motorcycle seat. While this is shown on my DR350 the same procedure works for most any bike.
So last night (Thursday) I worked late on some server stuff. While it was necessary work I might have scheduled this with the main goal of “working remotely” on Friday so I could sneak some DR work in. IT life is tough.
Wednesday after work I figured I’d work on it a bit. I can’t do any real heavy lifting though since I was watching the kids by myself. I sneak out and bump start the bike then rush back home to make sure the kids are still alive, they lived so I’m not the worst father ever.
