I installed my new throttle cable today. Came from a '79 XS1100 and fit just about perfectly. It's a little more sensitive than my old one, however I'll attribute that to 150% more attached cable. Also made a contact to replace both tires for under $250, with tires, labour and tire tax included. I'll be adding a review for Sonic Cycle Salvage in London after this weekend.
Also, tried to re-sync my carbs last night with my housemate. Managed to suck up about 50mL of 2-stroke oil and was left apologizing to the neighbours about the smoke hovering over our houses for about a half hour. I'll find some thicker bottles and try again. Note, I'm trying a different method that I want to make a write-up about later.
