Very nice write-up! I sent my leaking shock to Dave in 2021 when I bought my 2012 RSV and its been great ever since. Been in the back of my mind that at some point I may have to replace the o-ring in the future since I plan to keep my bike long-term, so appreciate the detailed write up being available here.

If you want to play with Linux, I've found one of the easiest to install and has similarity to Windows is Linux Mint. If your hardware is old, there's a 'light' version of Linux Mint. You can also try before you commit to it by creating a bootable Linux Mint USB using a Windows app called 'Rufus'. Yet another option - buy a new hard drive and use the bootable Linux Mint USB to install it to the new hard drive. Keep your Windows drive hooked up in the computer, and you will be able to browse the old drive.

At 40 years on, they're getting rare ! Wasn't me ! Still enjoy mine. Gotta get that 4 brush starter motor, though. The original just won't spin it hard enough anymore.

Thank you sir.
