Still no video of post-tune running, it's been a hectic week. But I put in a couple more rides and it seems to be running way better. Starts and idles easily, still a couple hiccups here and there but I'm going to wait until I get the exhaust fixed before I try to diagnose any of that. Right now my main focus is the tank, I searched and the availability and cost of replacements are prohibitive to me riding the bike again ASAP, so I decided to give up on preserving the stock paint and strip it down to the metal to see if the pinhole is isolated or if the rust had really spread. Turns out - not the stock paint after all! There was a bit of bondo underneath where someone had filled in a dent, and on the bottom of the tank I can see a little bit of what I'm 99% sure is the stock orange flake color this tank originally had. So I feel a lot better about giving up on preserving the paint. The pinhole definitely seems isolated but the inside of the tank is pretty cruddy, so right now I'm just trying to decide whether I can tackle the prep myself or if I should just bring it to a radiator shop and have them take care of it. I'm pretty confident I can properly apply POR-15 myself. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have the tank at least ready for the POR and then I can tackle the exhaust.
