Took the antenna out of my 850 and installed it in my 960 (since I destroyed the 960 antenna and the 850 is parked). BTW, the T-5R antenna tip is black.

Detailed the interior of the T-5R. Tooth brush and carpet cleaner.

Cleaned the motor area of the 960. I forgot I have a K & N air filter in that one.

Took about one minute total to change the wipers. We got a typhoon rain yesterday in wisconsin and they're as smooth as a baby's bottom. Great start. Good wipers.

Upgraded all four wheels to ceramic brake pads, also two new disc on front wheels. Love the ceramic. Quiet, and NO DUST on the wheels!

finally finished replacing all the bushings in the rear suspension, and finally took it for a test ride.... I forgot how nice these things rode, and that they're not supposed to squeak on every bump!

front-end next month!
