Got home right around dusk and got her unloaded. I need to do a ton of cleaning before anything else...EVERYTHING has grease and grime on it. The fuel tanks has about a gallon or so of horrible smelling gas in it too. Can't beat $15.00 for a bike trailer rental from Uhaul, easy for 1 person to load and unload a bagger. Now I gotta do some serious rearranging in my shed/shop in the back round..the park will have a frickin cow if I leave it where it can be seen while working on it, at least the new manager would. Glad we're not stayin here forever....hate hypocrisy.

Been raining off and on all day here, so I had to work in between the down pours. Also didn't get her cleaned up like I wanted to, needed to get her inside before the manager gives me crap. I still have to do some rearranging but I got the shop able to house her.

I need to get a MC jack and it's kinda tight quarters, but it's easy to pull in and out as needed. During a down pour I started looking at the damage and it looks like she was hit in the right rear bag first cause that area is bent the most. Next up is to strip the tins off it cause it's hard to push with the tires rubbing on all of it. We have some things to do this week and I won't be able to do anything more till next week.

The story continues.....

We've got the biggest swap meet in the Midwest this weekend, too bad you're not closer. Donnie Smith puts his name on a huge custom bike and car show each year., it's not as big as during the heydays but still good.

Broke it to the wife this morning, she stays at her Moms Monday - Wednesday cause of Mom's health

She actually likes the seat..... as I predicted, she could care less. She indulges my "projects" it keeps me home and out of trouble she says....lol. Rain again today.

Nice project...thanks for posting. The seat does look comfortable for longer runs.

I like the shop...looks like mine. Good luck and have fun with the project. YD

Rear light bar off my ‘90, it’s yours for shipping cost if you want it.
