sunday now...I still have a list to do
-wire fans with new relays.  one fan is on my old pusher fan circuit with relay. I jumped the 2nd fan temporarily while idling in the driveway and it went from 200+ to @ 170 and was still dropping when I shut it down.  I guess this is why you spend 900 bucks on a radiator and spal fans!
-wire new h4's and h1's with relays
-somehow attach the speedo cable to the speedometer..can't get it to stay in or clip in no matter what.  it was in and working before accident so it must have been in but not clipped and popped out on impact...I need your guys' help on this one!   lol  :pity:
-clean engine bay
-install trunkfloor filler neck seal
-get new threaded lock rod for drivers door
-tuneup..wires are shot..about 8 years old and crappy
-bleed brakes
-remove some hardware and screws, blast, paint, reinstall

but it's driveable for local trips on one cooling fan so I took my 5 year old out this morning for coffee.  then we went out again and I took some pics....having my boy request rides in the charger is the best feeling ever

That doesn't need one of those clips like a window crank has...does it?
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Lookin good! Quite a beautiful ride.  :drool5: :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:

I am soooooo jealous of you with your son! Wife does not want me to take our kids on the motorcycle and I don't have a charger of my own.

Have fun and enjoy the time with your family.

Man, that looks awesome! Must feel fantastic to be able to drive it again. :cheers:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Glad to see you got it back on its feet. It's looking good! But where is the door mirror?
