Yeah, I hear ya man, but I've got a four year old, a three month old, and a demanding job. I hardly have time for anything, but I make time for riding. It did have a primary inspection cover leak and I had to take the jockey shifter, shifter lever and linkage off to pull the cover clean the gasket, apply a bit of grease to it and reinstall. It's not leaking yet so all seems good. The gasket was just pinched which they told me about when I got the bike.

At least I got to tinker with it a bit last night! LOL!

Yeah, the frame is powder coated so no worries on the frame. Everything else is bare metal and as mreed said, the engine covers are copper dipped then hit with acid to make them age quicker.

Yeah, did I mention that they left all the dirt/mud on it from Sturgis for me? So cool, when I picked her up she was filthy and she will remain that way. No washing in my future...haha!

The frame is not rusted, it's a powdercoat that looks like rust.

Dude I have to see this bike. I seen you last Friday on the Iron at Cotton corners in Ravenna-I have on my bike and wave to you. My wife loved the Iron and would love the new bike more. Lets meet up sometime. I'm just in Streetsboro. Do you still have the iron?

Let's do it man! Still have the IRON...for now at least. I don't want to get rid of it, but I'm not sure how much saddle time it's gonna get now.

I think the Horse sells back issues for $10 a piece. I'll see if I still have it, if I do I'll let you know and send it to you.
