Thanks for the replies guys, and I def will check out that battery tray issue. I guess I was under the misconception that since the front of the pass floorboard is totally dry that it must be coming from up under the back somewhere. Tomorrow looks like another beautiful day to check it all out. I will let you all know about how much rust (BOOO!!!) I find. Looks like the motorcycle is gonna get some use to pick up some new parts for me. Good fun.

And thx for the T-stat link, jimmy. Those are some nice detailed pics. Makes a job easy.
