Well, got the radiator and everything forward of the seat done and left the rear end till last.

First up was swapping the dented muffler for an R1 muffler that’s almost the same…it fits.

Might swap it back though as it’s not cosmetically the same. Sounds the same though…

Getting to the indicator wiring is usually simple enough…

Except…

This replacement bolt I put in with the panniers rack a couple of years ago was forged from cheese. 👎

With a little gumption and ingenuity, got it sorted and everything back into the spaghetti pile. The screw that tried to screw me stayed where it was. I’ll have my revenge later!

The home stretch…

With the seat on, you’d never know the cursing the wiring caused.

Ta-da! Like new…almost.

First ride was around the block and local park. A few streets in and discovered the Quickshifter wasn’t working. Somehow it had turned itself off in the crash. Pulled over, got into the menus and it was as simple as turning it back on.

Then headed home for dinner to let the radiator cool down before topping it up.

After dinner, topped off the coolant overflow tank and radiator then set off for the first real clean in months. Came up great!

I swear it was smiling, even though it was less than 5°c.

With that clean followed by a 50km shakedown ride, the carnage and destruction was washed away and old MighTy is back in the game!

Welcome back MT!
