    well as you guy's should know that 6 months at the beach messed the bike up. so I put a new w.g.41mm 12 over to replace th 8, bike sits about 2" higher now, which is good if you remember how low it was. new mirrors, side mount license, spring seat, new pipes, ordered a new 6" full flat rear fender, still have the springless kickstand to mount. I'll get a pic for you guys soon. got her all utah legal today, seamed to have alot of water comeing out of the crank case filter guess from sittin through the winter, yesterday got the finger caught in the cutting shear hold clamps smashed it right off, doc cut it back to the first knuckle. guess that will be a nice workers comp check, rather have my finger.

    it was some kind of access panall. what pisses me off is that they put half the matirial cut list on the laser and left the small stuff to be sheared but of course this place does alot of backwards things. from the places i've worked at this would be my idea of working back in 1950's shop.

    Stretching the bike and shortening the fingers, I don't know about that one man. Sorry about the mishap. Hope you heal up quick and the pain goes away even faster. Peace.

    it's alot easier on the bike cover though, I plan on getting a new one once I put on the new fender.
