Brakes are on but it still wont stop



Thats me tomorrow. Rotors and pads on Shadow (85 MKII). A quick tune up and oil change. Prep the 87 MKII for its winter hibernation. mount the fenders on the MKI and put a hood on it ready for transport.
Then sort and clean all the wrenches and sockets, build a winter tool bag for Shadow and check the spare tire.

I hate this time of year.

This is the sort of tool you need:

Have fun :)
