            Hi Greg,
            Red faced due to being embarrassed about it's absence.
            looking forward to seeing the progress reports.

              Yes Phil, it was dumb of me not to check to see if it was secure. Checked the right side but never made it over to the left. Never occurred to me that the side locked with the key would be loose.

              Yep, I'm a dumb a$$.

                No you are not. The side covers all seem to be hell bent on escaping

                  Same thing happened to my Special a couple of weeks before my first XSSE. Was with some friends in nearby Cherokee. Pulled up to a light and a lady in a car behind us said to me that she saw something fall off one of our bikes.

                  I looked down and my left side cover was gone. Turned around and got it, but it was cracked and the brand new emblem was trash. Got it repaired/painted and another new emblem.

                  Was my fault as it was not latched. Oh well.

                      Congrats!

                      CongratsGreg on saving the Hornet! I am glad you got it back and at a discount - I know you liked it the best and hated to see it go in the first place but none of us have unlimited space or resources.

                      Wish I still had all the old parts - I still have a lot but unfortunately a left side cover is not one. Just a right from an 80 is all I could find as far as extra covers.

                      I am going to see if Ryan will help me finally get my brakes fixed and give the bike a going over this Christmas so I can get back on the road after this Winter. I am thinking its time.

                              Hey, Greg! That's wonderful news!

                              I bought an SG real cheap with destroyed carburetors. No ohm aftermarket coils were installed. That took out the ignition unit, so the carbs got wrecked.
