To all the concerned citizens, the bike is safely home, sitting in my garage after enduring a couple of years in the Ohio weather
Titled, has 95k miles, parked 2 years ago after roughly 60k miles over about 10 years. There are 3 toggle switches on the shroud for the ignition switch that control the lights attached to the crash bars and some wiring hacks that don't look too bad.
I probably won't do much with it until it warms up a bit with other projects going on.
Here are some shots at a pit stop on the way home. Feel free to point out the good, the bad and the ugly

The chrome really is in great shape. It makes me wonder how my XJ11 fork tubes ended up so horribly pitted having sat disassembled in an enclosed patio for 10-15 years. The paint looks restore-able as well.
The photos definitely show it in its best light, but it is in better shape than I expected!82J · 81SH · 79SF Fire Damage · 78E · 79F Parts Bike · 04 Buell Blast
