Open the Pod Bay Door Please


Been spending a great deal of time doing motorcycle maintenance over the past couple of months. The old V-Star needed a great deal of work after sitting in the garage for 4 years. Anyhow, I have been doing all this work over at my friend Tom's garage because it is bigger than ours, and has a door to his kitchen. We have started calling the place, "The Pod Bay" so I whipped up a logo. Thought that I would share.

Since last summer we have:

Complete oil change and filter
Pulled both wheels and had new tires mounted
Spline lube (Pro Honda 60% Moly Paste)
Rear break shoes
Front break pads
Complete break fluid change
Final drive oil change
Valve lash adjust
Replace spark plugs
Air filter replace
Carburetor Synchronization
Idle adjustment

It's good to be riding again and the bike is running good after all the love that we have been giving it. Next we plan to re-jet the carbs, mod the air-box so that it is more free flowing and remove the ugly AIS components completely(de-Californicate). At some point I have to detail it as well. When it's looking better I will post some photos, but for now I have to replace the AE-35 long range antenna control module, my computer tells me it will fail within 72 hours.
