Got my new Avon to replace my 10 year old Bridgestone BT45. Got my new throttle cable from Jessbikes. Now all I need is time to do the work... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

New throttle cable installed from Jessbikes. Carbs synched. What a huge difference in throttle effort :D :D :D
New waffle grip installed. I hope to get the front wheel off and taken to the shop in the morning.

Made some progress. Dropped off the wheel and tire at Guard Hill Cycle to get the new Avon installed.

New Avon mounted and balanced. All that is left is changing the transmission oil and a bit more polishing.

Well, my H2 has 13.5 inch shocks again, so it should handle, clear the ground in the twisties, and have some spring action. The 12 inch shocks just weren't working on it at all...scraping in the corners and I had to have the springs set tight, so it rode like a log truck.

TS185 needs its new chain installed and a clutch cable.
