I'd like to do this also, but I have a hard time finding reasonably priced GS calipers.

GC, do you have the calipers already?

Completely replace my valve stem caps; not just one, but all four of them.
The car is up on the lift so this seems like the ideal time to tackle this job that I just keep putting off.


Might also try to clean the entire inside of the front windshield if the winter turns out to be long.


Move the box with the now 3 year old new B&B Fusion Exhaust to the other side of the garage.


Whew......

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into those units. As much as I like my music, I have to be honest, whenever I drive the ZR-1, I am usually listening to the "music" made by the motor! I have only turned the radios on in the other two, just to make sure they even worked!

6. Install new bearings in left headlight, so it rotates smoothly
Make sure you are measuring heights from the frame not the wheel wells.
