Rode to work this morning. A bit nippy, but the Joe Rocket Factory Race Jacket did a great job It *almost* makes it worth coming to work on Monday.

Srob,

Congrats on a great job, doesn't it make you feel great when you get a bike back together after you get to clean all of the places you couldn't get to when it fully assembled. It makes you feel like you have a new bike. One thing about a winter tear down is that you are so into the work, you don't miss riding so bad, until you get it finished. Then it kills you until warm weather rolls around. What year is your bike? It looks new now!

Regards.........Worlok14

The fruits of my labors... still needs to be hit with the Honda Polish... but I think otherwise - she is ready to ride. Found out when re-doing the forks they are Ohlins Sweet

Cool, seems like it didn't take much time at all. A few weeks? Keep it on two! Any bolts left over?

Actually - I was short one bolt.

One of the fairing screws vibrated out during a test ride. Already repalced.
