Its all about the little things....

A few years ago I painted my motorcycle, a Suzuki Boulevard M109R, 1800cc V-Twin, I spent a good penny on the House of Kolor Kandy, but I was so eager, I rushed the sanding/blocking/filler and the end result was an VERY uneven paintjob. I had to re-strip the whole bike.

I recently purchased the Tobeco Super Tank, and mentioned how bummed I was at how badly it leaked whenever I filled it passed halfway. Tonight, I tore it apart, was EXTRA careful in rebuilding it, filled it and... Leaks.

I then re-visited some videos on this tank, it turns out, I left the vent holes OPEN when I filled it, they should be closed. SO, back at it again, this time as recommended and ..... NO LEAKS :)

Also my wicks were a little too long. So, its the little things. Like a marriage you know, a marriage can get passed the BIG stuff, but the little things, those will end it every time.

Live and Learn and i'm all the wiser for it.

Thats a nice ride. I know it well.

Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all it's flavour.
