Starting Tune Up Stuff

Oil and filter have been changed. New oil filter wrench was required. Guy at Bent Bike sold me a big square air filter, but the hole is small and round. So I have to go back tomorrow. Shucks can get me a KnM one in 5 days for $60, but I'm gonna try to get a normal one.

I took the fan and shroud off the radiator, (which is still sitting on the bench), so I can clean up the shroud. It's good, but is covered with surface rust and isn't really accessible when installed.

Battery has one empty cell. Tomorrow I'm going to get distilled water and a hydrometer, fill it, shake it, test it, and either charge it or get another one.
I'm also gonna take off the speedo cable, (which might need replacing anyway, as I recall), which will allow me to completely remove the front fender for polishing.

Today's cost: about $20.00.
