More bike pics

Since I can't ride yet, I'm spending time fixing up my motorcycle.

I spent a good part of the afternoon polishing up the left-side fin on
the engine. I started doing it by hand, then learned how to use my
random-orbital sander/polisher properly. It's much easier with a power
tool. Both side fins are almost mirror-like. I also polished up the
backs of the mirrors.

The new tires look killer. They're way better than anything anyone
even conceived of when the bike was new. They were also the only ones
at the shop that would fit. The rear tire is about the largest that
will fit in there. The front fender had to come off to fit the front,
but it can go back with some slight modification.

Next order of business: fix that nasty leak.
