Default Cold weather wrenching.

We've been having snowstorm arter snowstorm here in Pa. Since I can't ride I decided to do some wrenching on the scoot this weekend.

First was relocate the front turn sigs from the bars to the forks.



Then remove the license plate bracket from the fender and mount my new Sokustoms bag and side mount license plate.



I then mounted the new +2 forward controls. extended shift linkage and brake line.




And I finished up with the grips,switchhousings, switches,front mastercylinder,brake/clutch levers and mirrors.






Now I really want to ride. But were still cleaning up from the last storm and there calling for more so i probably won't get out for awile.

Oh yea one more for those warm weather people. This is how we do it in Pa. This is my dad shoveling off the roof....

It looks like a winter well spent.
Now go help your father.

The bike looks great, the snow blower on the roof is just plain crazy. Now I know why I will alway remain in Florida. Thanks for the vivid reminder!

Thats a good practice, I've heard several stories about roofs collapsing in some of the southern area's.
