Things are now buttoned up. All four pipes are hot and running good. I was able to get out and try to get some break In time for the rings. I'm putting together a photo collage for the final post. Should be done soon. I have a baby girl due in two weeks so I'll be terribly busy for the future. So getting this project finalized will be good. I took some photos today of the bike that turned out really good. If you like them vote for my photos for the 2014 calender.

Thank you.Yes a much different type of build all together.A very involved build and takes at least 18 years to finish and a whole lot of cash and luck.:P

SB,
Just saw this; congrats on the new addition!!!  Now definitely take your time sending out the parts - you have much more important things to be doing.  Best wishes for happy healthy kid and wife.

Cheers,

This is my final post.Here is a little slideshow I attemted to put together.I want to say thank you to everyone here that helped me out with advice, parts buying and selling, positive comments and the folks who kept the negative comments to them selves.The resources found here on this site are priceless.Everything from the tech to the humor and of course the babe thread.I have found a amazing community of like minded people here and I will be continue to be involved.My final expenses according to my best ability that is definitely flawed when it comes to money, came in at $1850 and so I figured I should make a even number and bought a set of Dyna coils and wires making the grand total give or take a few dollars at $2000 and over two years to complete.Twice as much and twice as long as I thought but that just the nature of the beast.I still consider it a lowbuck build compared to the builds that spend that on a single part.But I still ended up with a reliable safe bike that looks decent as well.Anyways,See ya later and who knows maybe Ill get my hands on Godzilla someday.Thanks

Good on you, Ron, all the work was yours!

Oh, and the video is marked as Private. We can't see it. :(

Thanks.Yes builds would move along much faster if life didn't get in the way.But I wouldn't trade it for the world.And thank you for your service and sacrifices it means a lot to us and is deeply appreciated.Oh and by the way your build is amazing.Im intrigued by that intake.
