    Puttzin with the XS

    Fixed the not working turn signals... I found it to be 2 broken solder at the switch.Got the brake lights to work...and, at the same time... the warning lights too! That turned out to be a separate fuse that P.O. had "fixed" by wrapping the fuse with tin foil...nice lol! The fuse box on mine had been by-passed and all fuses are separate...pretty common with these I figure, as is on the xs650s that I'm more familiar with. Hitched up a plug to run aux. 12v power or plug in a battery tender. and broke off right sidecovers top mounting slot by being lazy and not unbolting my seat to get the cover off. Fixed with 2 part epoxy...sigh. Strapped my sheepskin cover on the double bucket seat. I can't wait to ride. I have about two more weeks till my Doctor says I can ride after my left hand surgery done on March 10th. Just in time for the "Slimey crud run" May 7th! To quote Tom Petty. "The waiting is the hardest part..." Be safe everyone! Charley

    I'm thinking about waiting till the Fall to break the engine down, just because I will be a sad muffin not riding it. Steering head bearings, tires, and new rings. It's not a single-day job for me.

    Today: Dealt with an issue with my painter. Seems he forgot we were talking about a two tone tank.

    Recently: procurement. Fuel lines, badge screws, fuel filters, tools.

    Almost there

    John and I have been working on this one over the last few weeks (months?) Stripped him down to bare frame and everything is being polished, painted or replaced. He's now going back together. John will hopefully be able to paint the tank and sides today.

    And hey! no pockets of divorce dust in this project. lol
