With our top down weather rapidly approaching, I sure hope you can get it back together fast. After the record breaking highs we had yesterday, today sucks over on my side of 35 W near Grandview.

Took it apart on Thursday back together Saturday evening, went for a good long top down ride today. The astonishing thing is no left over parts!

yes, a good time to do all those upgrades, especially the sound insulation..

while it's apart, might as well do as much as possible.
