DickC's Bike: "The Beast"

I bought this bike in August 2011 from a car dealership in Cumberland, MD, that took the bike as a trade-in on a car. I'm having to rebuild a lot of the bike because of corrosion problems. I hope I'll have it road ready for the 2012 riding season. (That's the last time I'll buy a bike in an eBay auction!)

Bags still aren't on yet
Even the shocks had to be changed because they were badly rusted and pitted. I have a replacement final drive to put on her because the paint is bubbling up on this one. She has a set of chromed wheels and replacement hard saddlebags to go on her, as well. The bags are being painted and the wheels are being installed as I post this.
