Back on the road in time for spring. Thanks to all!

Post by du907 »

Thanks to ducinthebay, kalli, paso750, higgy, my painter Dave, and all the others who helped me with parts, advice, and encouragement to get the bike back together.

I wrecked two years ago, April 30. I was in a hurry and left my kick stand down and it caught in new asphalt. I couldn't walk for 3 months, couldn't get up by myshelf. At the end of the first year, I had all the mechanicals sorted out. The forks were straighted, the front wheel was straighten and trued (by Frame Straight, Tenn.). I needed a new triple clamp lower to get the front end to line up right. New head light, sub-frame, tail light and other pieces, used body work from ebay with scratches etc. (but much better than mine). This winter I had Dave fix the ebay body work and my tank. Wow, he did a really great job. It's better than new. Original decals from the UK and coat after coat of blemish free clear. It really does look and feel new.

Thanks again everyone.

Agreed, that bike looks great . It will be even better once you've replaced the indicator lens :wink:
