Tell you right now mountain, I am so jealous you are doing this. Because one... I no know how to. And two, I can no afford to have it done.
You rock bro . She is gonna be an awesome ride when you’re done.
Tough question. Maybe even stupid, but do you have a budget limit all set?

This is good to hear! I've bought the CCE retro kit for my '08 swingarm to '96 frame setup. I think I've got all the parts together for that whole project. Only thing I'm lacking now is time.

Ester rode beautifully after the whole upgrade. I regularly blew sparks off her floorboards.

The older touring frames were prone to fill with water, and either rust out, or freeze and bust...be sure to really check out the frame if you have "scary handling"...
