And here I am yesterday was high 50's today low 80's

If I didn't have the rear wheel off for a cleanup and new tire.

I should have done this last month sometimes cleanup includes

a buffer and $89 in stainless hardware and 3 weeks gettin it right.

Although it may end up with a quick polish and silver paint.

If the weather stays warm.

The Gl1000 is covered in the driveway waiting for the

rolls of flooring to move out.
What I say is based on Google and Yrs.of
experience, in the stream of time not even a
blink......So take anything I say as merely inconsequential babble.

Gents;
Here we are with the best ten days in a row of picture perfect weather so far this season. Day temps in the 70's and low 80's, low humidity and somebody forgot to tell the bugs that summer was here and my Wing's shelter, side covers and fenders are still at the painter's. He is a one man shop and you can only lean on him so much. So I patiently wait.
