I agree! The series put so many things in context, particularly the internal political machinations in Vietnam and the USA. The series is good, and touches on many aspects of the war, both good and bad, at home and in the AOR. I had to take a mental health break about 3/4 way through though....
Nothing like taking a motorcycle ride for some "cycle-therapy!"

Its putting the GD thing back on! I installed the fog lights and a Garmin 590 on Sunday. I discovered 3 things:
1. Fishing wire around this bike is not fun, but neither is removing and reinstalling plastic.
2. The front cowl is a fairly easy to remove, but a PITA to reinstall.
3. Honda QC is not perfect. The lower (-) terminal accessory screw on the fuse holder would not budge. I'd tried to connect the Garmin to the accessary terminals on the fuse holder on the left side. I ended up connecting the GPS directly to the battery. Is there another / better place,. I don't like having the GPS stay on when I turn off the bike.
Winter is God's way of providing time to polish and repair.

Got -r- done.
Coolant drained, refilled and burbed, engine oil and oil filter changed, and bled the clutch with new fluid - no drama there either.
Remarking about my original clutch fluid, it was dark yellow and hazy looking. Only have 15K on my bike and it’s two years old. Brake fluid sure can get old quick... now have some nice, clear Preston DOT 4 in the clutch’s circuit... and it feels a lot better.
In a couple of weeks, I shall flush and bleed the brake lines and do the spark plugs.

Yes ... putting plastic back on takes considerably longer then taking it off.
Have you tried using a JIS bit to budge the accessory screw ??? If not they will round. In most places, a JIS #2 bit is required on GL1800s.
JIS screwdrivers are most definitely a necessity if you work on Japanese bikes...
