- April 08, 2014, 09:57:32 AMQuote from: moosewing3 on April 08, 2014, 08:30:23 AMI use the guy in Gatineau because I still have lots of family in Ottawa and my BK chapter is there so I'm up there once a month anyway. So the epic of getting the bike home continues, was a decent day yesterday so I went to pick the bike up from the shop that had been doing the safety and repairing the throttle cable. Was riding along getting a feel for my new bike and all of a sudden it get real quiet and I can smell fuel. Pull to the side of the road see fuel all down the side of the bike. Turn everything off can't find the problem. Turn the key and notice fuel puming fast from under the tank. Go through a whole adeventure getting a trailer, mine and everyine else's is still snowed in. Get the bike home, pull the seat and tank, see that there is a back line that has a very odd clip/ check valve (I think) that is not really attached. muscle in till I hear a click, hopfully this does it.
That bike has a black cloud hanging over it.

- April 08, 2014, 09:49:14 AMMy cousin actually owned the local Kawasaki dealer, his partner wanted to buy him out, quickly went bankrupt, and stiffed him on the money he owed him. There is one in Ottawa and one in Belleville though which is reasonably close, but he doesn't carry much stock. Luckily my daughter lives five minutes from the dealer in Cornwall. Even better she lives about 20 minutes from the Ship It Shop just across the border so I order tons of stuff from the US and get free shipping lol.

- April 06, 2014, 18:22:25 PMNope on the bobber, ordering new fender tomorrow. Already had the paint booked and picked before I picked her up. Going with Plasti dip again, in a two tone, one of them a custom colour. Waiting on a quote back for ceramic powder coating on the pipes. Hope to start tearing down this week, but apparently I'm supposed to finish remodelling the bathroom I tore apart last week. Non riders have no idea how to prioritize.

I sure hope the rest of the mods go better! 
Like I said before, Wing.... This is y our excuse to paint it whatever color you want to. I'm mighty partial to two-tone, myself....
