Found a couple of connectors I missed on my cleaning Dielectric grease mission recently. Picking up exhaust Orings and fork oil today,hope to get the forks resealed and back on tonight. Finally riding weather soon.

How the heck do you get a 2018 pipe to get that rusty? haha. I've never accomplished that level of "patina". Good job on the cleanup.
I checked the mail for parts today... couple more boxes and I'll start my spring rebuild. Got out for a ride in some poplar tree hills the other day, I'm still mostly snowbound.
