I have all the parts for updating the brakes but haven't done the fix yet. We'll see if I can get that done in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, I picked up a cycle cover at Glenn's Cycle Supply. I also ordered some spark plugs. Apparently these plugs are not in demand anymore. Glenn couldn't locate any in Hawaii and ordered them from the mainland. The CB550F uses NGK D7EA plugs.
I noticed Glenn has been getting some criticism on Craigslist recently. Apparently a rival moped shop has been trying to get some of Glenn's customers so they talk stink about him.
I've bought parts from Glenn since the early 1980's. There have been several years-long periods where I didn't have a motorcycle (or two, or three) and didn't stop by Glenn's during those times. When I come back, Glenn may not immediately remember me but he's always friendly and has good prices.
Glenn's Cycle Supply is located at 13th Avenue and Waialae in Kaimuki. Glenn's phone number is (808) 732-5547. Take a look at the photo I took today. It could have been taken 20 years ago and nobody would know the difference! I hope Kaimuki can hang onto its small-town atmosphere.
