[steering damper lost its damping]

Plenty of decent quality steering dampers out there secondhand, and if leaking they'll be cheap. If you go for a Sprint, I know the bloke who used to run the company. He still has mountains of bits and will rebuild a leaky damper for 30 quid, which is basically buttons. It'll cost 4 x that from a suspension specialist, if they can be arsed (many can't be and only do the latest fancy units).

Good to know!

Up to you. I would think all the Slabbie tanks have the same opening. Not too sure about others. Aftermarket, specific to your bike will do.

Basically, almost anything can be ‘massaged’ to fit. Not too difficult a conversion to do. @wraithand @TonyGeewill be able to point you in the right direction. And, welcome!

And Dot 4 is kinder to paintwork!

Seen good results from that. Matches GS1000 perfectly!

[Rebound adjusters]

Well, I’ve got them free! But, which way are they supposed to come out of the preload adjuster? They’ll only screw out a few turns, or screw in slightly below the top surface ... but that’s it! Won’t to right in, won’t come right out. Bugger!

You might want to wrap something around the stud to not mar/scratch it's surface.

Or use soft jaws. Easy enough to make.

Don’t snap the extractor. Then you’ll really be paggered!

Very tidy. Good job!

[Works X75R motor.]

Nice! Piece of history!

Strip the rack down as much as possible, then dump them in a bucket of water for a week. You could throw a squirt of dish soap and lemon juice in too! Sounds daft, but it works. Be gentle with them … especially the float posts.

@slayer61It’s a sort of mild bleach. Commonly used for sterilising babies bottles and the like. 

[gs1000 front brake reservoir]

Couldn’t you have just made an o ring? And the OE price and shipping for that new res? Silly money! Get some sterilising fluid, used neat. Steep the old res. in it. That’ll whiten it up a tad!

[gs1000 front brake reservoir]

Perseverance. Name of the game! Bits and pieces are getting far too expensive to break.
