He bought a brand new '11 S40 and started the conversion as soon as he got it home. Nicely done. Very friendly guy; talked for a good bit before we all had to leave.

The guy does not have a computer and does not want one. He is retired and prefers the "Simple Life".
I told him about the site and he said he would go a friends house and take a look.
I have his name and he lives within 30 miles of my current location, so hopefully we can get together before long and ride a bit.
I have about got things settled enough to begin doing something besides moving, unpacking, sorting etc etc etc etc etc etc..........................makes me tired just thinking about it.

You can get RYCA parts at Lowe's?

Nice looking bike.....neat paint scheme.

I did spend a lot of time at a local hardware store for my conversion. There is an ACE store in Florence that has a well stocked nuts/bolts department. They have stainless metric that includes allen head, cheese head, pan head.....and even metric thread all connectors that I used when making the mounts for the side panels and brake light cable mount.

Lancer.....glad you are getting things resolved. Soon you will be able to play motorcycles again. Don't take a 35 year span without motorcycles like I did!
