I still need a left side passenger peg, and to paint the other exhaust shield, but it looks like I went from rags:


To riches:











I think I'll cut a hole in some newspaper for masking and touch up the exhaust baffles with some black paint.

Holy smokes, Greg.  That looks sharp.  I think it is a prime candidate for BOTM next month!

Thanks guys.  I look back at that before picture and it's pretty ridiculous to think of how few of the parts in that picture were re-used...basically the frame, lower triple tree, swing arm, wheel hubs, tank, and a handful of #8 bolts.  I'll put another five miles on it after I tune the carbs :)

With the [relatively] warm temps you've had and no rainfall last month, have you taken that bad boy out much?
How many miles on the speedo now??

They are ugly....had a set on my Kaw 1000 years ago, but never again.

If you win BOTM, as I predict, you'll have to do a victory lap!
