Check/Tighten/Replace Bolts as needed

Hopefully at the end of all this, you'll discover a bike you LOVE to ride...  ;-)

Congrats, I love those SS models. Can't wait to see it done.

Thanks, I love this bike! But I have a little extra to do to her now. I crashed this Sunday. 

Only minor damage though.

[The Bacon Junkie]

yeah, but at least it's just the kickstand spring and the shift linkage.  No broken levers or pegs.

  The only big thing I can see is you have to replace the white zip-tie holding on your oil cooler with black, to match the other zip-ties holding on the rest of the oil cooler!!!

Ouch, sounds like you've got a real winner on your hands Sac!

Bummer,  hope you're OK.

if you're uncomfortable sell it (to me). 

[SacDuc]

Okay, here's the parts needed list:

Clips ons (found on ebay)
Oil Cooler (found on ebay)
Grips (to be purchased from local moto store)
Adjustable Levers (to be purchased from local moto store)
Blinkers (to be purchased from local moto store)
Wind screen (eventually)
Brake and clutch lines (eventually)

Hopefully to be found in the parts bid at the local dealer:
Kick stand retraction spring
Rubber bump for fairing stay
Coupler at the end of the shifter rod.

[The Bacon Junkie]

Instead of the grips, just use that rubber tape I gave you.  It's more comfortable than regular grips, and you can custom fit it exactly to your hands.  It's what I did with Rosie.   










 

[SacDuc]

Thanks to Bacon Junkie.    

Got the new oil cooler and clip ons installed yesterday.

Just gotta get new oil and filter in her.

And new grips.

And turn signals.

And reinstall the mirrors.

And finish coat the fairing.

And get a new key made.   Still. 

Oh, and learn how to ride.

Any time, my friend... 

It was more than repaid by you spatchcocking that chicken... 

Lunch was delicious, the purple carrots and Mel's stuffed artichoke were amazing!
