Well i didnt get as much done as i planned on today:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: . The swingarm pivot bolt is rusted on there pretty good so, i have some pb blaster sitting on there, and hopefully that will loosen her up so i can get the swingarm off. However i did dissasemble the bach half of the bike, i pulled the tail, rear fender, side covers, battery box, chain gaurd, shocks, and inner fender and i took off the seat. Here are some pcs for you picture junkies....lol:laugh: :woohoo: :silly: :cheer:

Im Going to empty the tank tommorow, and sand off the old paint then work my magic with bondo on the many dents. I am also going to order new reproduction pop in side covers from jeff at Z1 enterprises, plus a long list of other stuff.....lol

Sorry little brother but I can't help from laughing every time I see that big old Yosh exhaust... That thing just looks so huge on the rear end...

Same time, just to prove how deceiving images can be...
Is that the same bike you posted awhile back?

Would have never have guessed at the frame being so rusted...

Nuttin' but luv fo' ya, but don't even try. I'm a former El Segundo resident so I know how things are out 'left' ;) . It is 13* right now, but that's only because to get from 56* to 3* evidently you have to go through 13* on the way. :laugh: It's alright though, with wind-chill it'll only reach -15* sometime tonight...mmmmmmm, balmy!
