Here's the thread where my Kat took on a guard rail.
So got all the parts I needed, but my lucked kicked in and the first two fairing stays I got were bent. And the sellers (BOTH KR members) were great about refunds. Finally found another one on Ebay, got it cheap, and he guaranteed it was straight (it is by the looks of it)....but he shipped it to me wrapped in plastic wrap thru USPS with no box?!??!!?
Haven't had a chance to wrench on the Kat at all.
Did get the replacement LH fairing stripped of it's evil factory stickers though.
Now just sand / spray bomb the fairing, bolt up the stay and gauges / headlight etc, add my flush mounts and my rear plate mounted signals and I should be good to go for now.
coaching baseball has been keeping me busy.
Wrecked bike 5/31. Started gathering parts
6/5 Chosen to Manage the 11 year old All Star in my son's Little League (I also coach travel ball).
6/15 Started practice for District tourney
7/12 Started District LL Tournament -- won it. Team went 4-0.
7/18 Start practicing for the 11 year old State LL Tournament (out of town tourney)
7/24 Report to tournament
7/31 Get home. Went 3-2 Out of 16 Teams, ended up 3rd best LL Team in the State. (Should have won it).
8/4 Go back to work. Start try outs for Fall 08-Spring 09 Season for Travel Ball.
8/9-10 - HOPE HOPE HOPE to get most of the work done on the Kat. (THAT'S IF I can convince my wife that NOT cutting grass to fix the bike is the LOGICAL decision)
This time of the year is always crazy for me. Not riding has been driving me NUTS.
