Topic: What did you do to your bike today ?

[WhyNot2]

aint done much to mine for years except ride and maintain,today the neutral light went funky,didnt glow when it was in neutral,then glowed when it was in first parking it and stalled as i dumped the clutch,then no light at all,no biggie,got home cracked a beer and dropped the left cover to dig out the switch and found its worn out,also testing the wire turns out the globe was a bit corroded in its holder,didnt have a spare earth switch so just soldered a chunk of brass shim will do for now,also found a stripped thread on the oil pump as i nipped them up,one thing led to another the 6mm helicoil i used wouldnt bite so just thought #$%* it go 8mm and all done,phew!

Good save........!!!!!

Painted the engine.  Now I just have to put it back together.

I finished freshening up the hubs and re-spoking the CB350F today. Most everything on this bike is super clean. The spokes were the worst part. Not much corrosion anywhere
 Except inside the tank which I'll be treating this week

Looks great, yes, it will be interesting to see what happens when heated.

I took an electric heater out to the garage to keep my old friend a little warmer: it hasn't been run in a month! I think it might be getting jealous of the 550 that's out there getting so much attention lately?
