What did you do to your CB1100 Today?

Hey All. I've seen threads like this on other forums and thought I would start off with my little ordeal today,actually the whole day..
feel free to add what you fellas been up to

Valve cover leak. On left side chrome cap nearest to your left knee was leaking and getting on my left side cover at speed.

Did not bother taking it to the dealer for warranty since I do not like other people touching my bike and also I do enjoy tinkering whenever time permits. Also, with all the modifications done to it I don't want to justify the fact that the leak wasn't caused by what I put on the bike...

Notice the lip of the valve cover gasket does not go around the chrome half moon cap. Oddly this was where the leak was coming from. but It does not look like it was torn off.

The lip on the rest of the caps goes around the half moon chrome cap pictured here.
