OK, Ratman,  I updated the list with status on all of them.  Should be good.  I even added an item....  You're right, some are pretty easy and won't take long.  Others are a lot more involved and will take several hours!!

I can hardly wait to see this critter in person. I think I'll just drop in at your shop on the way to your house on the 11th...My routing software puts me in your area before 5 pm...

So it's time to start the "Done by Drift-In" project list.

When I got the bike last November, I noticed the neck bearings were bad. Then this spring I noticed the thing has the dreaded Vulcan Clutch Disorder. Then, there is also the one or two minor mods I wanted to do to make her pretty. So I got serious last week, and got started. Plans are to get as much of this done in the next couple weeks, to get it back on the road, and get some miles in before the trip to Drift-in. So here's my list, Ratman Style:

1 2-tone paint, some chrome fender trim, fender tip, Part off, ready to go to painter
2. ceramic pads front and rear, and flush brake fluids Parts on site
3. progressive front springs Parts on site
4. Neck bearings, and grease zirk mod In Progress
5. handlebar risers, grips, different mirrors Parts on site
6. front and rear tires, tubes, rim strips, and wheel bearings. Parts on site
7. headlight & spot light hoods, re-route/repair wiring, new headlamp bulb In Progress
8. clutch upgrade waiting on parts
9. change out the horn Parts on site
10. relocate rectifier In Progress
11. change oil, flush coolant Parts on site
12, rubber mount exhaust In Progress
13. spark plugs Parts on site
14. drive shaft cover, and maybe a special mod Parts on site
15. custom tail light/turn signals Parts on site
16. custom brake pedal Parts on site
17. service rear gearbox and driveshaft Not started yet
18. power commander / air mods Parts on site
19. change windshield mount and/or windshield and/or cut down Still looking at options
20. fab a luggage rack Still looking at options
21. windshield lowers Still looking at options

This should keep me busy for a couple weeks.
