    The weather is starting to get cold so I figured I'd get the '86 apart and in boxes for the winter. Plus I need the space. Don't get your popcorn ready just yet, probably won't be any updates till spring.

    Around 2.5 hours to get to here. Lots on non-oem fasteners on this girl. Everything else looked pretty good.

    Looks like you've got a few bikes to push out of the way first. Always liked the CBX's.
