hi guys…..the bike has been done for a while but i added a few items which changed the look quit a bit so i shot a photo on the last ride…..h/d ,the short summer flew by again so it's time to roll the triton in for the winter and hope i have the ambition to finish it. swan how was g/s this summer? take it easy,joe

GS is purring, except I broke a swing arm bolt on a long right hand turn while accelerating hard. I did not lose control of the bike and came to safe and controlled stop, but it was scary to have the rear wheel fishtailing at high speed. New bolt is in but I cannot ride until tomorrow night. Been riding the Triton instead and realize how much work it needs compared to the smooth ride of the GS, so I plan to strip her to the frame this winter and rebuild her, better, faster, stronger...
