SwampThing Mod.a

A few things are on the bike now.

- barkbusters
- headlight guard
- skidplate
- high-flow air filter
- levers are bobbed
- 13tooth countershaft sprocket installed (2T under)

The Progressive fork springs are sitting in the boox as yet along with the rear master cylinder guard, 15wt fork oil, and jet kit.

I am awaiting a new (better) shift lever, a Supertrapp slip-on, and new brush/hand guards.

I did some cosmetic work to break up all the green on the mini-fairing (MrsJAC assisted) and worked the plasitc back into it's original color.

How's SwampThing comin' y'all?

My number is up...
After 2 years and 25k miles on my trusty steed karma pulled my number last sunday.

i was slowing to negotiate a left hand turn off of a 2 lane road and was struck from behind by a young teen driver traveing appxox 65mph (in a 45). My speed was approximately 15mph and slowing, hyper lights going.

Long story short, i'm now parapalegic. T12 and L1 were crushed along with the spinal cord in the middle.

I'm heading to surgery today to fuse and reconstruct the physical support mechanism i need to at least be able to sit up in a wheelchair.

I believe in the power of prayer and would considerate it a great honor to be included in any prayers over the next few days.

Cheers,
Dale
