Only got stuck in the snow once! It was worth it just to get my bits back.
The bars and fork sliders look good. I also received the new bolts for the damper assembly through the post but have to order stainless ones for the clamp.
Then, when I get the oil through in the next day or two, I'll be able to put them back together. I've had to order 20W fork oil from Opie Oils, an on-line supplier which gives a discount to HDRCGB members (I'm certainly getting my annual membership fee back), as I couldn't find anywhere else to buy heavy-weight fork oil. It seems that a lot of manufacturers are using lighter and lighter weight oils in their forks. As H-D, and their Japanese suppliers of forks, are still agricultural in their builds I needed heavier stuff.
I can also get the wiring off the bike and route it through the bars. I'll be able to bring them into the house and do that in the warmth and with enough light to see!
all black and ready to begin re-wiring
