Thanks!

I am upgrading the rear brakes and with the upgrade thinking about changing caliper colours (from the red that's on the car now) to something else. I am considering yellow, gold, blue or a more vivid red, or keep the same red.

Just trying to think of also what will go with the blue, and maybe be a little more unique. One of the colours that I think could look good is gold as well.

Blue kind of blends into the background, and I was thinking of a colour that pops a bit more.

Opinions?

A little bit of catch up

Changed out the headlights to LED Motorcycle headlights.
This was a lot of work, and involved heavily modifying all 4 headlight buckets.

New Nitto Tires

New Electric Estopp parking brake, and a lot of heat shielding

(oh yeah, and I went through the thread and re-uploaded a lot of the old previously photobucket pictures that were deleted when the account was closed and photobucket did their thing a while ago)

The starter would not engage last night when I went to do my Friday workout.

Got a tow-start from the tow truck driver (thank goodness for a stickshift) and drove it home

I thought it might be the solenoid, but the wire just came off. I guess the heat cycles and soforth had weakened the push-on connector. It was really not gripping.

I took it off and used an eye terminal and the screw fastener, on the starter.
I don't want to risk having that fall off again. The car is way to low to want to crawl underneath at night somewhere (lol)

Picked up the rear brake kit today, hope to get it underway sometime next week
