Getting back on the road, part 2

And it's roadworthy!

Installing the front brake turned out to be a lot more complicated than expected, since the new hose was a little too short, and then the bleed valve turned out to be clogged, but it eventually got done.  The only major issue is that one of the screws in the brake fluid reservoir broke off, which means I now need to remove the reservoir to remove the lower half of the screw.

In preparation for that, I've ordered a new "oil cup" (which is what Honda apparently decided to call the container that holds brake fluid), screws, and so on.  I've also ordered a new air filter, since I have no idea how old the one installed right now is.

Next up is an oil change, and of course dealing with the brake fluid issue.

That said, it passed inspection, and I was able to ride it to work yesterday, so I'm calling it a win!
