Thanks! Good eyes on the missing fairing bolts. I was in a rush putting it back together before taking it on a long trip and had forgotten the old expansion plugs had disintegrated. I really dont like this fairing hardware design. Those rubber expansion nuts are always a pain when they go bad and spin with you. And unfortunately around here the local hardware stores only sell them in standard. Had a Seca II awhile back I rebuilt and had a time trying to make those standard nuts work- theyre either a hair too big to fit in the hole or a hair too small to expand and hold well. Ill have to get some online I recon. I did manage to make a 2hr ride down the interstate to visit the folks for Christmas without them flying off though lol
Unfortunately the weather isnt so great here right now. Youd think living in the southern USA it would always be warm, but were currently about 25F-40F, cloudy, and rainy. So itll be about 3 more months before it warms up enough for me to ride, even with my winter gear. TN weather is a funny thing, i lived in Seattle WA for two years and its currently warmer up there next to Canada lol
Heres that RS100

I picked it up for $300. It was sitting in a guys basement after his father passed and has set for 7 years. Theres a small pinhole in the bottom corner of the tank unfortunately. And its so corroded Ive yet to be able to remove the fuel cap. But its in really good shape otherwise!
I have to finish my SV first (the shop is doing a $1k bike challenge for YouTube- were doing a 500 mile trip in March so I have to get it ready for that). And the KZ550 needs to leave as well so I need to finish it. Then my FZ has a whole shelf of parts waiting to be installed

I just sold my sports car and had too much money so bought some carbon fiber panels for it, a Mivv exhaust, Ivans jet kit, and new intake boots that Im gonna port, as well as delete the AIS and take care of all the maintenance it needs like a valve lash check and fluids and whatnot. But once all those projects are done Ill finally move onto the RS100. Its gonna be my put around bike for when we go to the Barbers museum down in Birmingham Alabama. (You should check that place out, its insane!)
