alright, more stuff. got the most of the front of the suspension back together on the bike, and i have to say i hate this road. ( i live on a paved road, that has been torn out to dirt for the last 3 years so they can repave it. they use brine water to keep dust down in the summer, so everything gets salt in the summer from dust control, and salt in the winter because michigan)
borrowed a good digital snapon torque wrench, so used mine as a paperweight to keep things from flying away.
wife washed some parts before i put them back on to get some bulk dirt/mud off
gonna need some seals at some point in the future also! but i will have them rebuilt and upgrade springs while at it.
back on for now.

a couple pics to show why i hate this damn road and the salt
front is back together, just need to remount the brakes and front half of the fender. ( about half hour, we needed to leave for some more important things)
the radiator, headlights, fairing reinstall, and hopfully airfilter and shelter ( basically the rest of everything) should happen thursday/friday this weekend.. with a little luck i will be able to take it for a spin this weekend and start taking it to work again next week!.

also made the hoe do a little work for a buddy that needed some supplies ( this is about 2/3 of the load, we dropped the rest at job site.)
had to get my computer going so we could download some updates for a bully dog for this big bastard also, he is a family friend that i drive some of the trucks for on occasion.
and the next next next project. a friend of ours has it and it dont run, and needs it gone. so gonna make the denali do some work on this one to bring it home ( mostly for wife comfort on the trip there and back) crank no start. get it home and go from there, as the rest of the car seems pretty not bad.

The stock air filters use a double mesh screen on the bottom side of them, a fine layer and one slightly more course. I took the fine sheet and trimmed and wrapped it around the end of the intake runners to keep them out for the future.
While the fairing is off and you can get to the headlights is the ideal time to swap to something better. So in goes some electrical connection led headlights that work very well in this application ( at at $120 Ish a pair, with two pair they better! )
Tell you these things are bright and white! A pic with fairing half in place to test the lights.
