Run Red Run: Odd Jobs

A few odd jobs on a half day-off...


  • Mounted the headlight... you have to install the mounts before the light itself!
  • Added the new taillight to the rear fender (using the extra holes drilled into it).  Then mounted the fender itself.  Nice!
  • Pulled Astrid out for the first time in ages.
    • Pumped up the tires which were flat.
    • Checked to see if gas was flowing.  Discovered that it would flow in Reserve, but nothing flowing out when switched full on.  Figured there was a clog in the filter.  Only when packing up did I bother checking the gas level and saw that it was way below the inlet pipe so of course only the Reserve would work!  Dumb, dumb, dumb...
    • Also realized/remembered that the big reason you can't run a full on S90 head on the CM91 is because the frame blocks the intake/carb.  So you can run the top end but you still have to use the CM91's carb/air filter.
  • Checked the sizing of the new 48mm Flexhone in the CT90 jug and it looked like a good fit.
