Hello, new here, getting bike back on the road.

[Blue Wide Glide]

Welcome to the Forum from NW Indiana John. I guess you are lucky that the fork lift didn't just run over your ride!!

 

[John Gallagher]

Aye! I may have cried real grown man tears.

Hey welcome, good luck on your project, looking forward to the pictures when you start reassembly.
The tool box with the drawers pulled open reminds me of a tech we had working for us years ago.
He was moving from one bay to another when they started opening and the weight in the drawers tipped the box over onto the floor. What a mess that made.

 

[John Gallagher]

Yikes, what a mess! I try to keep my backyard shop clean, can't you tell, lol.

I was painting something and the spray can fell out of my hand, hit the corner of the open drawer on that toolbox. The can busted open and covered me in black spray paint. I took my glasses off and my eye area was the only clean spot, lol. Everyone laughed when I walked in the house.

I ordered some longer/grade 8 bolts for the risers from bolt depot. Waiting on those.

Want to show these Biltwell Thunder Risers I ordered for the bike. They have a one piece bottom instead of two pieces. The bottom posts will fit inside the triple tree holes, so no solid top riser bushing is needed. That will look clean eh?! I'll use the oem grade 5 bolts. The steering will be tight AF. I don't mind vibrations. I really like these!

 

[Jeff Klarich]

Look good.

Welcome, and enjoy
