Default The Great Repair!

Ok..well last year during the sturgis rally i went down pretty hard. i wasnt so much worried about my self as my new bike. and i started the repair on it yesterday. i didnt get much done..except dropping it off of the lift on to a truck tranny and putting a dent in the good side of the tank (damint)

so i will post pics here as i order parts and put the bike together untill i put the final parts on it!
