Today I got the chance to dig into the bike a bit. I pulled the front suspension off and checked everything. No damaged parts! I then dismantled the tail area and removed the fuel tank. There is a bit of oil from the wreck on all the wires and hoses located on top of the transmission; nothing bad, but it will take some cleaning.

I removed the airbox and had a look into the intake runners. The valves look great, so that was nice to see.

I emptied the fuel tank and removed the lock and fuel pump. After letting the gas residue evaporate, I gave the inside a good flushing with water. Tomorrow morning I'm going to take the tank to my buddy's auto body shop and pull/push the dents out and weld up the pinhole. I'll most likely knock out the bodywork on the entire tank while I'm at it.

I'm still kicking around paint ideas. It's a lot harder to choose a color for a Speed Four than a TT600, as you don't have as much surface area to play with.

Don't work too hard during Labor Day weekend--or just the weekend if you're not in the US.
