Well, I finally got a little more done.

I used a wire brush on a drill to shine up the cylinder head covers.  I had been working on them with sandpaper and it was just taking forever and scratching them up here and there, so I gave it a try.  I was worried that it may scratch them up, but they actually look really good.  I wasn't able to get between the radiator fins though, so I'm going to have to figure something out for that.  If I can't shine those areas as well, I'll just paint them black then shine the outer edges and tops.

I also finally got the right size socket to remove the swing-arm - it's a 22mm.  Of course I haven't had the time to remove it yet, but I need to get the primer and paint anyway.

Basically, I've been overwhelmed with work and any time I have had on the weekend has been used cutting the weeds (grass) now that spring is here.  I have gotten a few good rides in on my Kawasaki though, so it has been a pretty good riding season so far.

I'll post pics as soon as I get em.
