Rainin like a bastard and I have the day off. Time to crack a brew, stare at the bike and find a project.

This little bracket looked like ****. Became useless when the wiring harness got ripped out.



This is how shitty it looked when the original harness was intact.




Took the dremel and cut it out. Only three little tack welds.



Couple little squirts of my favorite spray paint, looks much better.

So last week I took a spin around the block, parked the bike and hung the helmet on the bars.



I go in the garage today and find a bird nest in my helmet!!!!!



Glamour shot....I am such a *****!!!

You know your not turning many wrenches when you have to update your build thread with a "birdnest story"!!!!



Fast Freddy Spencer's race bike, will that get me off the hook??..........Nah!!!!
