The time approaches for me to get the list of spring repairs knocked off.

New rear tire (to replace the one that was ruined by the rubbing against the fender/saddle bag supports)

Install the forward controls that I had ordered here.

Fix the dayumed oil leak by replacing that stupid plug.


I'll definitely get the tire done by the shop that I work with, but will likely order the tire from Amazon.

I want to do the forward controls myself if possible, or at least with a little help from my dad.

I'd also like to take on the oil leak with my dad's help since the shop half-azzed it the last time (they plugged the top of the rubber cap/plug with silicone, but didn't remove it and replug it like they should have  Eventually the think resume it's tell-tale leak).


On the plus side for me, I was able to get the bike out and go for a ride yesterday.  I've been trying to fire it up about once a week over the cold months, just to keep it moving, etc.
