I thought about making a cafe', but I couldn't bring myself to hack up a perfectly good bike that just needs some love.
This is what I started with... windshield and luggage rack had to be taken off.
Then the tank got some love... several hours of hand polishing and wax
Then the seat and cowl was completely disassembled, cleaned, polished, waxed.
Then the exhaust got several hours of love and attention to detail
Then it was the front wheel's turn... still need to finish the spokes, then on to the fender, forks, and fork seals.
