Some pictures of my VN

Nothing much has happened recently. Took the intake manifold off and redone the gaskets. While it was off I gave it a good clean.
fixed the oil leaks, so far no leaks. Gave it a service and put some of that stuff in the oil to stop the lifters from ticking.
It sort of works, you can sometimes hear a slight tick but it will go away. Flushed the radiator and cleaned the engine bay.

It still has a fluctuating idle when at operating temperature so I will have to find out why and fix it.
I have also noticed a slight exhaust leak so I will get on top of that ASAP.

Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I also took the throttle body off and gave it a good clean.

Whats the blue stuff around the throttle body? Is it a sealant?

No idea, it was already on there. I'm guessing someone has tried to fix a leak with sealant or something.

So what's happened recently:
I got it running good. Well as good as a VN will run. It had a vacuum leak which I have now fixed, I changed the fuel filter and the 02 Sensor.
I have also fixed the exhaust leak. I have noticed it has been a bit better on fuel.

I took the front off to clean the condenser. While it was off I re painted the front bar and cleaned everything up a bit.

All back together

I got bored the other night so I stated to polish the paint.
I think it didn't come up too bad so I will finish doing it tonight.

Looking tops man

Thanks man.
I done this to the back, I'm not too sure about it yet. It was silver but then I done it white.
The reason the indicator isn't done fully is because you can't see it flashing that well in sunlight.
I don't think its too bad and it will do until I can get a hold of one.
The photo isn't that great it looks better if you look at it in real life
