Sounds like a good deal, will you be making a project of it or just a rider?

Open an account on Photobucket.com.  No charge for a basic account.  Upload your pictures there, sort them into folders.  When they are set, you can generate IMG tags that you can past into your forum posts. 

First thing first.  Get your photobucket account created.

If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

Well today I dicked around with photobucket for 3 hours.Check out the pics.Then I removed the rear tire, shocks, center stand,[broken???]grab bar, inner fender,tool box, and swing arm. Going to clean and paint the swing arm and clean and polish the shocks. What makes the shocks look good? I do plan on Progressives but for now just want to clean and reassemble. My chain doesn't seem to have a master link.And I was wondering how do you clean these o-ring chains?
 Any one got a center stand,tool box rubber latch or inner fender? If so let me know.I need those things first.
P.S. The photo bucket thing didnt work mostly due to my computer skills, my internet provider, and my computer skills...

you can post your pics straight to this thread: when posting a comment click "additional options" down in the left hand corner, next to the attach box you can click the "browse" button and add your picture file. to add more click "more attachments". hope that helps you. good luck with the bike and keep us updated.
