Somewhere under there, is a water pump, I'm sure of it!
Actually, the first order of the day was fabbing a top for the FIL's 6 wheeler ATV lift. It's shop built, and uses a good old boat trailer winch and pulleys to lift the table. I'm gonna steal it when he's not looking... Bad thing is I can't leave the bike up there long term, as we've got a couple of 6 wheelers to service...

Ah ha! There it is! Nice and snug, with metal vanes, so it seems to have been replaced... Cool!

So, I think I've checked the water pump off my list, but I've definitely added exhaust! I have the set that came with "Josie," stock with what seems like two or three foot extensions, as well as a set of Jardenes that were on the '82. I've also added the radiator, because I just don't trust it with all that crap inside.
As she sits, lowers, radiator, exhaust, and crash bars have been removed, as well as the shelter, seat, stator cookers, and floor boards. The front fairing should come off to do the forks, the rear rack and bags need to come off, as well as the tire, to do the gas tank, and I need to pull the battery box and clean up the surrounding frame and paint it because of rust. I guess that is my next step, the battery box and frame...
My next day in the shop will be Monday, as I'm taking a bit of a break from the split night shift cram stuff into a couple of hours during the day then sleep and always being tired stuff. Monday is President's Day, and I'm off, so I should be able to make some significant progress again...
Good wrenchin'
