Ricky- - thanks for sharing the pics and congrats, it totally looks like you have an as-new 500e to play with!

I'm thinking the cling wrap would offer less protection than the 2-3-4 coats of the clear coats that were applied, so a nice cool garage would protect her nicely

Are you planning on taking her out of service for the winter (rainy season)?

have a great day, and congrats again on your as-new and improved 500e; let us know your thoughts re: Satish's 1st gear start too!
