Forks got damaged in the move to Japan, so I took them off and am going to send them to Dan Kyle to get rebuilt (something that I've wanted to do I last rebuilt the forks). I'm also doin' the steel braided brake lines in the front with new levers and possibly a new front brake master cylinder as well as rebuilding the front calipers. Gonna probably to the same to the rear brake. She's also gonna go reverse shift pattern Gonna also try and sort through the wiring and figure out why I'm still burning out tail lights (brake lights always work fine).
General maintenance as well that should've been done by the previous owner, but I highly doubt that it was even considered (things like a valve adjust and new spark plugs). and cleaning the grime and filth off the motor.

Nice, sounds like fun, there're four bikes in the garage right now so I don't have room to work on mine, although they both need a little attention.

Hopefully it goes as smoothly as I plan. My project is something that needs to be done moreso than it is something that I want to do. Neglect and damage from previous owners and even some none owners. I'd like to also swap that right side crankcase cover, but I don't want to drain the oil of her, and seeing as how i doesn't harm the operation of the bike right now, I'll leave it.
