What did you do with your XS today?

@ pchop -theres that square access cap on the bottom of the case, if you cant grab it with the fishing rod i'd try and jiggle the engine around and see if it falls down to the hole. theres an internal magnet in there. or try fish it out from the dip stick hole,

or

tape a small magnet on a coat hanger


today im rigging up a test circuit for the lights and signals with the new mirco switches
 
Finished taking the bike apart. Used my Dremel to grind off some extensions some PO had welded where the sissy bar goes.

Was looking forward to finishing this tear down phase tomorrow but it will have to wait since I have to go in for a 4 hr training session.:banghead:
 
I walked by mine like 500 times getting tools to fix the car. Car is fixed, time to clean the shop, put away all my Honda goodies, and get back to the bike. I do have to return a fender to an idiotic company that marked the wrong sizes on the website, and then took a week to get back to me about how to ship it back. Some people should not run an online business. Still have to score a rear fender so I know where to put my cross braces at on the frame.
 
So far today? Started it, rode it around the block, bolted on a license plate, strapped on the tankbag, dug out my riding gear. Leaving for work in 20 minutes, gonna feel sooooo nice to be riding again. 35F here now, heading for a high in the 50's for the next three days, wooo hooo!!!
