Good work mate, what wheels are you gonna use? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

fork seals( had one blow out and the header hit the ground mid turn) 
Wow, that sounds like a scary experience.  Glad you didn't lose it then.

FWIW, I'm not a shill for Race Tech - I've just got a thing for good suspension and the RTCE's are the most cost-effective mod for these old damping rod front ends.

So, you're putting a single sided swinger on that Monster? Or you're taking the front end off to put on your CB750? I like that salt flats racer, what are you gonna call it, "The Flying Jelly Bean"? Cheers, Terry. ;D

The belly tanker project is very exciting...

I found you another nice front end that would add something special to your Honda. :)

I hate those wheels. Really detract from the rest of the build.  :P

Mtmooradian, I was just reading this book about barn finds.... A Harley in the Barn, by Tom Cotter.  There is a story in there about a Ducati collector/restorer by the name of Mooradian...just curious if he is any relation to you?
