$Pat Cklarkin is married to my sister Kathy (aka Katwoman) and they own an auto body repair shop, Two Rivers Auto Body, in St. Ignatius, Montana. I go visit over the 4th of July holiday and they take the parts from my two SL 350\'s and paint them - first Pat fixes a dent in the fuel tank caused by handlebar impact.$

$Time to disassemble the Blue Bike - it has orange fenders, but they are spares and all of the parts sister Kat painted blue will go on this bike when it\'s done.$

$Missing items include the toolbox cap and some pieces of the mufflers - I think I can repair the mufflers, I\'m handy with an oxy-acetylene rig and I have a very nice valve-forward torch$

$After a couple of hours this evening it\'s down to the heavy bits.$

$Lots of cleaning, stripping, blasting and wire-wheeling to do on the various parts. My friend Tom found a good chrome shop in deep dark industrial Seattle that I\'ll send all the chrome bits to. There\'s a cad plater in Auburn that I plan to use for the hardware and cad-plated parts$
