I’d like to make just a little progress on the GSF1200.

The work of cutting and grinding the frame and such is surprisingly tedious. I do this kind of work, but basically I hate getting dirty myself.

I’m also not good with dusty work.
I basically use the 3M VERSAFLO, <\/a> one of those full-coverage types.

To be honest, goggles alone won’t protect your face. It’s easy to forget, but your body really is your capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

And don’t forget earplugs (earmuffs).

It’s rough when you can’t hear anything\u2014just “huh? what?”\u2014so be careful.
Also, be sure to watch your hands so you don’t cut them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start by removing the rear fender.

The GSF1200 comes off so easily\u2014it’s wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pop! Off it came. I actually quite like the stock rear fender.
*My own GSF didn’t have one, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I cut and grind everything, I’ll get sick of it, so I’m just going to work on a few spots\u2014just enough to keep it from getting tedious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I cut, I basically use an air saw. Cutting plus grinding sends dust flying all over the shop and gets my whole body covered in powder, so I hate it.

Today I’m keeping it to just five spots.
*The air saw blades are also out of stock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, just two spots halfway done. I’ll keep moving forward as time allows. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
