thanks for the advice! much appreciated!

Do you think i should leave the stickers on the gt?

Hey DrJ! i found this buco the other day... the stickers are kinda jacked on it and it looks like someone put some reflective tape on it... unless it came like that? beats me. Not bad for 9 dollars.

tonight i took advantage of the nice weather... ground off the passenger peg mounts, painted my rear rim and messed a little with the seat... still dont know what im going to do about the seat. ill post some pics tomorrow.

how'd you get your cam chain off?

As the title says... it's a did chain. i cant find a master link, thus leading me to the answer but im just checking with you guys to see if maybe i missed it. Split the cases and pull the crank...? thanks.
