After a few weeks down post-wreck, Kenny has put my bike back together and it is running great. I took it out for a first ride out of the neighborhood (about 10 miles) and it feels far better than it did even before the wreck. It should, after...
- New handlebars & mirrors
- Rebuilt forks
- New throttle cables all the way through
- New front brake line
- New fuel lines
- Flushed brakes, incuding ABS
- Flushed the clutch
- Fresh air filter

... and after the front wheel was re-mounted, the front wheel's ABS sensor re-shimmmed, and the ABS flushed out, the ABS system works again! Now to scrape the remainders of electrical tape off the ABS lights...ha.

One evening this week she'll get an oil change and a new sightglass while we're at it (the old one started weeping on this trip), and we'll be ready for the next big trip (ah, next year).

Kenny's 1200 has had no attention for weeks and is feeling neglected. It just keeps going and going and going...

On the bad side we found that the brakes (front and rear) and ABS were not flushed as requested at the dealer right before our trip -- the brake fluid that came out of the rear brake line and both ABS circuits was nasty -- so I was a bit disappointed about that.
