6) Removing the Exhaust, Running Board Repair....5/28/09

[MrSled]

Me and my son Zach hard at work removing gas tank, exhaust and inspection plate to start the donut replacement. Zach is drilling out rivets to remove trim on running board to straighten the bent board on the left side that was damaged.

Removed clutches for inspection for warn parts and damage from blown belt.

I will hopefully get to the exhaust donut replacement, some preliminary fitment on the tunnel extension from Muffin Works and start the M10 install.

Note me pointing to the the bolts on the inspection plate and exhaust to properly remove.

Awesome way to spend time with your kid too. I have great memories doing the same with my dad. Not only that, Zach is learning a ton and doesnt even realize it.

It's great to see Zack right in there with you on the build. I learned from my Dad, and have countless memories of projects we've worked on together.

Enjoy the time together!

Last two seasons I've planned a TY ride first part of Feb. Both times mother nature has stood me up Then we get 50 inches in April which lasted about a day each time. Grrrr.
If that old saying the 3rd time is the charm is true maybe it will work out this coming season
My place is about a mile from Dorset semi retired work 5 days in the cities and get 9 off to spend at the lake : ) Shoot me a PM sometime we can hook up for dinner and a beer up there
