damn I need to update this thread.

I have since last update installed a Pompadori made brake line and some superbike bars, as well as the above mentioned fork brace and a Carpy fender. The bike looks quite different w the superbike bars, not as tough looking as the clubmans, but my back and wrists thank me daily. I have logged a lot of miles this summer and know I need to get into the motor this winter but finances being what they are right now, who knows how far I can go.

Pix soon....

What's left?  A motor rebuild?  The bike cosmetically looks pretty darn done!
