I really did not want to make a mechanical review but seems like a good idea to take a few photos as I go for reference for others and myself!
The gas tank looks like this so you know what you need to disconnect. So you guys out there that need to check your valves, (you know who you are) here you go ha, ha, (just makin some fun).

The tank has some rust starting around the sending unit and also on the seams.
Shots of the left and right side showing valve access and the plug wire laying on top of the valve cover (stuff like this needs fixing)

Lastly a shot of the grease around the speedo sending unit and the wheel bearing. To protect that bearing from water I will pack grease all around it sealing it and I may take a look inside. The bearings look to be the same manufacturer as the HAWK etc. Tempting to think about new bearings, my HAWK rolls so good with ALL BALLS. And the front axle uses an off size nut 18 MM with 15 mm bolt so I have to find an open end or something for road tool kit. Enough story telling I got to get some work done.
