Taking things apart

November 16, 2008:

Sorry, no pics on this one. I took my youngest for his first motorcycle ride today. He is six months old now and got his first ride, like his older brother did when he was that age. We have a 'papoose' that holds him against my chest while allowing him to look forward. We rode around the yard for a few minutes to get a photo-op.

As soon as his ride was done I rode it into the garage and started taking parts off of it. Accessories first:
Saddlebags & brackets
Windshield
Highway pegs

More substantial parts next:
Seat
Fenders
Fuel tank
Lighting
Headlight
Lightbar & turn signals
Taillight
Foot pegs
Handlebars & cabling
Front brake system
Wiring harness (gotta be careful where things are attached)
Drive chain

She's starting to look a little naked at this point. It's getting late so I stop for the day and realize that this project IS going forward and I am committed to it.

Next item I plan on is getting the motor out of the frame.
