The previous owner delivered the convert to me this afternoon. We did the deal, took a couple photos, and then I proceeded to begin disassembly. Overall, I am quite pleased with how well things came apart. There were no rusty, crusty, stuck bits and even the exhaust slid apart like a dream. Good stuff. I think the bike has sat outside for the last couple months here in Phoenix. But, it most certainly did not spend the last 11 years outside. It is in too good of condition for that to have been the case.

I discovered a couple of surprises along the way...(1) an extra Dyna ignition! and (2) the wiring to the Pacifico fairing only tapped into existing wires...leaving the original wiring and connectors intact!
