D "X" is back......
and it went back on the stand today...
I finally sent the kickstand out and had it chromed. I have been procrastinating over this for a long while, as I could not find another stand for it that wasn't damaged in some way.
The other one I did find has some major bite chunks out of the inside, where at some point in its' life, it may have wanted to have a long term relationship with a tire? It also was bent inward pretty badly, but it did hold the bike up for the time it took to send this one out to the chrome shop. I was worried about it getting lost, or whatever, but the shop did a nice job on it, and both the cuff (proper name? piece you see the stand pass through that also holds the retainer pin in.) and the stand came back as things of beauty. I sent it out through a motorcycle shop in Boca Rotten (where they think I may be a couple of bricks short of a stack) that caters to Harley performance. The guy that said "chrome won't get you home" needs to go there and do a study... They have some stuff there that is unreal.
Anyway.. The camera is not up to a picture today, so I'll have to post one after it gets a little charge in life. I'll also have to blow the tires back up to the proper pressure and take it out for a ride!
99.5% completed now, and I am real happy with the outcome!
Pictures at whenever!
