Sorry for the long delay in posting the re-build, We've been blessed to be VERY busy at our design studio. The only real mod I've added is a shorter paralever: love the handling! At just over 40,000 miles the shocks are showing they're age. I'm planning on getting a new bike this summer so not sure if I'll be upgrading the shocks. Looking at the new 2008 GS, maybe a 1200R or 800ST. This bike has been amazing, far surpassing my expectations.

Now:

Im sure that jbuzbee and the two deers would have preferred not to have met under such circumstances.....BUT CACA HAPPENS.....and we must give thanks, that we made it to be able to ride another day.

which I guess was largely brought on by human activity

Those poor deer. Next time maybe you can take out a couple of those nasty humans.

Good work Buzz. awesome repair - I like the blacked out look & that's a neat 'proper' mudguard you have there now. I didn't like the R1200R headlight look you had there in the 'before' pictures much.

Well done

Thanks everyone - this is such a great forum! I wish I had more time to hang out and chat.

The front fender is off a R1100R. I made some brackets to lower the headlight (so there isn't as much room between it and the fender), then I was going to fab a windscreen to cover up the gap between the lowered headlight and clocks. Well, like I said, I've been very very busy lately! If I can find some cheap off road lights (to see farther down the deer strewn road) I'd like to mount them at the fork bridge - I think that would have the same effect.

Thanks again, I just wanted to wrap up the saga
