I regret to inform you that something has attached itself to the rear of your motorcycle. Is a bear cub hibernating in there, or is that the fabled child transport/rear spoiler?
Dude. I mean, dude. That's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber, not shaft drive.
It looks like it's quick release, which is good. Luggage rack looks bolted on, so you'll need a hammer.
Seriously, great job in turning a disaster around.

Thanks Rob. I had a shop put that rack on for me years ago when the boys were little and I worried about them falling off. I didn’t discover until a few years later that they not only kept (tossed?) the original grab bar, but also ground off the forward mounting brackets for said grab bar.
Since then, I’ve replaced just about everything that needed replaced. If I ever find another grab bar, I have a buddy that can weld up new brackets for me. The bear cub is carries my lunch, some tools, and rain gear.

Dang, ain't it amazing how much you've learned since March 23? Knowledge you'll be proud of forever. Job well done, well except for the little cable bracket you made.

Honestly, there aren't too many things more satisfying than hearing a motor start, after doing major work.Bob T. ~~ Play the GSR weekly photo game: Pic of Week Game
