Project day 1 - August 17
Got the bike back to my storage locker/garage and started pulling bodywork. For whatever reason, starting at the tail seemed easiest, so that's what I did first.
Windscreen removed (somehow I thought I needed to do this first)
Rear fender and blinkers removed
Flasher module removed
Tail light bulb and wiring removed
(Leaving rear cowl plastics, passenger seat, and taillight housing on for the moment)
Tool kit tray removed
Rear brake switch removed
Passenger pegs removed
(Passenger peg hangers left on for lifting bike until shock swapped)
Mid-side panels removed
Peg feelers removed
All in all, I'm guessing 5lbs in the Bin of Suck. I should probably get a cheap fishing scale for fun. While unloading, discovered the right fork seal has a leak and it's gooped the brake. I already planned on a fork rebuild, so not a huge deal. I'll have to bump up pad replacement on the priority list. No point cleaning off OEM pads IMO. Need to get 10mm spools for rear stand and a pin front lift soonish.
It got hot. So I stopped.
