[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1405199, member: 20946"] Must admit, I haven't been posting on the forum much, but I'm still reading it each week. Bought some new fairing pieces from my buddy Tony about 18 months ago and just haven't been able to get to fixing the bike... until today. As some of you may recall, I layed my beautiful 05 galaxy blue down... doing a slow left hander at perhaps 10 mph thanks to a faulty gen 1 rear ABS system and too much right foot. She got some scratches and a couple torn fairing pieces out of it, but thanks to a great helmet and a good riding jacket, my bruises healed up in a couple weeks. However, Big Blue has been sitting in the workshop all this time patiently waiting for me to figure out a way to replace some parts and repair a bent fairing bracket... right where the mirror attaches. Well today was the day: I finally got some help from my son-in-law and we straightened and re-aligned the fairing stay. So now the race is on to get all the fluids changed, including some very old gas, a new battery and get Big Blue up and running again. 18 months is a long time to be sitting on the center stand. Time to breathe some new life back into her, and get her back on the road to stretch her legs once more. With a little luck and a lot of elbow grease, I hope to have it ready for the trip to EOM this year. Big Blue rides again !! Well, hopefully. I just signed up and I'm looking forward to the trip.
