I did give it a new battery, however. It's like holding a box of animal crackers. I saved multiple pounds with this thing.
Some guy online said it saves 3.6 kg, but that sounds like too much. I mean how much does a bike battery normally weigh, anyhow? ~Ten pounds sounds like an overestimation.
I feel pretty now that I have a cute blue battery. Nobody else can see it, but I know it's there. RT:

Forks did. Rebuilted. That nonsense is *over*.
Holy moly... it's an easy job, but everyone's instructions are horrible, and missing steps. Even the shop book. I could do this in under three hours, next time, on any bike.
Shiny new low-budget drill press hooked me up with big holes. Respect.
There's still so much to do. I guess I'm on to the radiator, next. Somehow, I have to purge every drop of water. I'm moving to a waterless coolant and the insert says it's a big deal. That'll be a good way to get angry, this week.RT:
