I know, I know, I owe (posts that is)

Update 1: the rattle can paint job on the Harley-Davidson Sportster fenders is complete, with pictures, video and comments/lessons learned.  However I messed up my earlier draft post and won't try again tonight.  I promise to close out that project post thread tomorrow.

Update 2:  On ride to finally run the Sportster again, test all the signals and fastener tightness, I confirmed the left fork tube is seeping.  Did the thin card/piece of film or negative (is that even available enough anymore to recommend as a trick?) around the fork seal trick this AM and going to ride it again tomorrow to see if it worked.  If not, expect a "rebuilding Harley Davidson Sportster forks" thread soon.

Update 3:  Connie is now leaking more oil than the Sportster.  Still runs like a scalded cat, but debating chasing the leak or just wiping it down a lot as I chase the 100,000 mile mark for the next year.  Thoughts?

Good night, all!
