Left you a voicemail 😊

Hey Mark, Yes, I received your VM. Apologies for not getting back, I didn't pick it up until late last PM. I hate lugging that phone around and I use it for a paper weight more times that not. I still have a land line. :oops:

I'm on the road today so I ring you up early afternoon Cali time. Thanks for the assist!!!

Just passing through today headed to PA. I did have a couple boxes of parts to go through. Nice box from Cruiser Outfitters..!! New rear seal and a clutch kit. Thanks Kurt!!~

A few "goodies" for the T/case. Original plan was to cannibalize the old case. Going a different direction. Trying to minimize stripping the old case as much as possible.

Big box from Burbank.

Made it back to the Mountain State...:hillbilly:

Sorting through a couple of packages and labeling/organizing the parts that are coming in. Not in any great rush on the mechanical side of the Mule just yet. Going to pull the top for the summer in the next few days and haul everything back down to the storage building for the summer. I have a Best Top Bikini Top but I'm on the fence about installing it. I figure the Mule has enough holes in it already without me drilling new ones in the windshield frame...

There are should be 7 threaded holes going across the top of your windsheild frame. I'd redrill the best top channel if possible.

It's been a quite awhile since the Mule has been topless. I'd run through some of the old pics earlier, trying to cypher a COA for the Bikini. Couldn't remember exactly how the HT was connected at the front.

College chicks love bikini tops!
Reminds me of one of the most classic opening scenes of Fantasy Island!

Tattoo comes running down to the dock, punching away furiously at a handheld calculator.
Roarke asks him what that’s for? He replies ā€œeliminates guesswork.ā€
Roarke’s deadpan answer: So do bikinis.😊

Dumb question: How is the upper windshield gasket affixed? Have you glued it, or is it just popped over the flange?

I used a dab of ultra black to just position the gasket while assembling everything.
 
I want to be "you" for a day...:popcorn::beer:;).
Works for me. I’m going to take a nap.
And figure out how you are going to explain to your wife you and your 40 full of co-eds, the next day.šŸ™„
