Progress today
Drained the engine oil. Very thick and black. Not much sediment, however.
Cleaned, reinstalled, and torqued oil drain bolt. Removed old oil filter. Fitted new, but found the one I had belongs to 1982-88 VF700/1000s, not this VFR.
Will find another filter locally.
Scrubbed, wire brushed, and cleaned the center stand with WD40.
Side stand looks good, too, after reinstalling spring.
Installed two stainless braided front brake lines.
The double banjo arrangement at the master was a little fiddly. Fit only with left side hose down. Instructions a little ambiguous on that, but probably consistent. Torqued all three banjo bolts to 15ft/lbs.
Installed the chain guard and routed the new rear brake line through the slots on the guard.
