    I was going to try and get there by 10 or 11 at the latest, perhaps earlier depending on how early I can get my stuff out of storage downstairs. But of course it's up to Bob.

        I'll give Bob a call when we get out of church and see what you guys are up to. I probably can't get over there until after lunch but maybe you will still be working on it. Otherwise, no big deal. Don't wait for me. Do it according to yours and Bob's schedules.

          Believe me, after the last week I'd be happy to sleep in a bit. I just didn't want to take over Bob's whole day without his say-so.

              That's a plan, Stan.

                I shall be on standby.
                I reserve the right to get a bit of shut-eye as well. Hehe.

                    Mike,

                    Why don't you post when you are on your way to Bob's. When I get up (probably between 8-9:30) I'll check in and plan to meet you around the time you should arrive there.

                    Bob, let me know if there's anything you think I ought to bring along that you might not have on hand. I have a suspicion that your garage is completely stocked with necessities, though...

                    Regards (and 'nite),

                      Great group effort guys.

                      I have a spare fuse box, is the blade type with the connector on bottom. Is meant for 82 1100G, but does look the same as what baatfam Bob pictured.
                      I could contribute it to the cause, but being 150 miles away, maybe about only practical use would be to replace the one someone more local might give from thier bike.
                      Let me know. Could send out Tuesday.

                        Thanks for the offer Redman, but I've already found and ordered one off eBay...

                          Odds of me coming out are slim. Mrs. gbw has other plans. If something changes I'll let you know.

                            Loading the bike as we speak. GPS says about an hour.

                              I will be leaving shortly myself... I'll check here again before I leave, just in case Bob wants me to bring anything special along.

                                Well...Mike didn't get here until about noon because I gave him bad directions...

                                Fuse box change went great...but we realized his chain was toast...so we are swapping his totaled 630 for a spare 530 set I had...
                                It's not new, but it is serviceable...
