So got to looking at my bike this past weekend while putting some led's on... noticed I had a subframe bolt missing... so no big deal, i'll get a new one...
MISTAKEN... after a short assessment of what was going on, I was left with 3 bolts that were snapped off in the frame and my subframe being held up by one bolt, my exhaust, and tank.
I could see MAYBE them breaking from doing stoppies? The bolts were not snapped where the sf meets the frame though... but farther inside on EACH one..... but the ONLY time my subframe has been messed with was @ Star City... Overtightened???? guess I'll never know...
so now left with drilling old bolts out of the frame and retapping... once again, sucks... but no big deal.... HA, HA
While drilling out the holes, a person 'helping" me accidentally drilled COMPLETELY through my main wiring harness, SAWHHEEET.... found this out at 1 o'clock or so trying to go to the NB show...
So I had given up for the day.... But then to the rescue was another friend down from Omaha for the show who saudered* all my wires back together and made it look better than new! had me back up in enough time to make the cruise (which was BA)
So that was my weekend's worth of bike bs.....
