cleaning up p.t. 1

since its still too cold to get much work done outside i figure i might as well clean up whatever is small enough to bring inside.

here is the grab bar, half cleaned with aluminum foil and vinegar, click for full size

and the seat with all the mud and dirt cleaned off with the finished grab bar attached

h&v exhaust

Bye bye H&V, waiting for the stock exhaust to come in

on a cold winter day a new bike rolls into the garage

well it 2:30pm and below freezing but just got the new bike home.

the good:
electronics appear intact, it has a clean title, its mostly complete. sand blasted and painted 4 into 1 Vance & Hines exhaust (not pictured)

the bad:
2 broken off exhaust bolts. brakes are dragging. missing rear air-box and filter. needs new battery and a heavy carb cleaning. mild rust and cleaning required everywhere.

my first task

hmm missing airbox

80Mph speedo that needs an upgrade

task number 2 clean out the tank
