Concours motorcycle maintenance project grew by three, so it got postponed

This weekend I was going to take the front fairing off the Connie, pull the gas tank, and adjust the steering head bearing.  Well as I started looking at it, I realized everything short of doing the radiator coolant change would have to be done (getting all the mutual obstructions out of the way, etc.) and an oil change too since we had wrestled Miss Swail (get it?) up on the centerstand.

So I look around the garage inventoring fluids, filters and then check how much time this would take compared to what other commitments I had before traveling for work again.  Hmmm.

I'm never a fan of leaving a bike disassembled, so I have decided to make this a Thanksgiving week project.  The Sportster is running fine, and I have some holiday hours to burn.  Anyone up for some mechanical fellowship in a few weeks?
