If you haven't already, you should leave work now, assemble it, and put 1000 miles on it before you even consider going back into work!

Thanks GW, but I ain't that good. I don't have enough vaction time to finish it before having to be back in the office. It's going to take some time for me to get things reassembled, a lot of time.

Default Amazing.
Consider me another absolutely amazed subscriber to this masterpiece of a build thread. I've just spent the last 4 hours reading and admiring everything.

Your son in law is an artist and you're an inspiration. I too recently purchased a Nightster and am completely jealous of the availability of tools and creative genius you have at close support. I'll be looking forward to your future posts and doing as much as I am able to my ride without complete tear down.
Congrats on the progress thus far.
