Let's see, put an updated clarion radio with Bluetooth and mp3player in thanks to Pete. Installed a Utopia drivers backrest and small subwoofer in the trunk. Also replaced the windshield. Haven't ridden yet as still too much gravel on the roads up here from the winter.

Not much to report here, I did get some diffusers for the Cree LED's on the front. spreads the beam from the 10deg to a wide angle of 30 on each light.
I have returned to the front fender project and have a workable formed blank. The one I will use for production will have some type of cut-out Logo or design. It will have five fastners , carriage bolt ,
( from the inside out ) and then a stainless steel shallow acorn nut on the outside.
What has been payin the heating bill has been the metal art work I have been doing, this rough work is an old chevy one of 3 that I made from a photo. When PC's work ' their the best thing since two wheels...
The pic of the garmin mount has been shown before I did that in the fall. I have been out of the shop for about two weeks but have been feeling better and put in a few hours tonight. Doesn't seem to be much work needed on the old 1200. Just Basic maintenance
I worked on all that once the roads got salted and sanded at the beginning of winter here in NJ. Just not enough free time for me.. I'll change the oil a few weeks before the rally trip and decide on tires at that point also. :cry2: but it needs a good cleaning after a nice 200 mile day. Soon I hope....

Ron I saw them too and chuckled about it but laughed out loud this morning reading your post/question about them. Loud enough to grab the attention of others in the house!
