Just so everyone doesn't think we drink more than we work, we have a 4 PM Cocktail rule. After the first round Beags has to get the camera out. Beags was a good bro today, didn't bust my chops at all about the fact I filled my gas tank on the way to his house yesterday, so we had to drain a full tank to get it off. Actually we did pretty good, didn't get too much of it spread around. Only casualty so far is one antenna cable. We pulled the end off when we set the inner fairing down on a movers pad on the front fender. Word of advice, if you do this kind of stuff, make sure you use something real thick like movers pads so you don't dent the fender as well as scratch it. S'anyway, now that we've got the handlebars positioned and everything stripped down, we can run the new braided throttle cables, the braided brake lines and hook up the other end of the braided clutch cable I gave myself a fit over yesterday. Beags got all the wiring tucked inside the Wild 1 Chubby's. FYI the new Chubby's don't have flat spots for the master cylinders, they are tapered. Looks great, but I think from the effort we put into pulling the wires through, the inside diameter is smaller where they taper.S'anyway, we can see where the insane wiring harness for the rear speakers plugs in and of course with the bike stripped down we can run the cable back to the rear. In spite of today's pics looking like we went backwards, we are moving forward. Totally weird day for weather here today, rain, hail at one point, more rain, high winds for awhile. Temps yoyoing 20 degrees up and down. Even with other bikes to ride, it was not a day to be riding. So all was good. We'll keep posting pics as we move along.
