lol. I've been wearing out a jar of Mother's on it. Seems the previous owner didn't wipe it down much and the chrome was ready for polish. And the front wheel was a mess which cleaned up nicely. Not perfect but a couple more times with the mother's and it'll all be there.

Can you notice much difference between the 865 and 790 engines?
No. But I haven't really rode her yet. 70 miles home from Port Orange FL last Wednesday. And 10 miles into work today. She does seem to have a goodly amount of get up and go, which I attribute to her youth (low mileage currently 1,262.00). Speaking of, the tires will be 6 years old this June (2506) and they have extremely wide chicken strips. In essence I'm still wearing the mold release off! Add to that not being sure what size the front sprocket is. I could tell had I a tachometer on her. It feels like an 18 though. She has TORS on her which are a pleasant change from D&Ds and Scepters! Speaking of TORS I've got to index her plugs and Sync her carbs after I change out her spark plugs. I changed her oil at Ryan's before I rode her home though (it was a six mile ride to Ryan's from Mr. Hamilton's place). To Amsoil from Lucas 10w40. Oh yeah today I removed the AI system and drained her float bowls (which looked good).
Poor girl was never rode hard and put up wet. Well, that's all over for her now!  
Good news on the floats being in good shape. I think I wiped the Tiger down after I got into the airbox for the first time. Cannot remember as the clean-up is so quick.
