Still going...getting it to someone to do the electrical. I just don't have the time or the inclination and I want it done right.

LOL!! Oh wow! I wonder how long the xs650 and CB550 Four will take. I've even changed jobs! So why don't you come over and help me finish all these projects Stevo?!

Its actually with TreyAllen (his build link: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=137073.0) in New Braunfels right now...he's finishing it up for me. Between the insane hours I was pulling at my old job and going to school...it just sat there for two whole years and collected cobwebs. Now I have a better job with more pay and make my own schedule and I'm almost one with school so should be done soon. Seriously...

Damn, Steve-o.  You AND Cal are up to your eyeballs in builds!  I'm bad enough with two -- one in progress and one in waiting in the wings.

Cal takes the cake, CFR.  Between his projects, helping everyone online and everyone within 8 hours drive time, I'm surprised he still has time to do anything else?

Just sold the xs650. Too many projects to invest in another one. Too bad too...wanted a hardtail real bad. Another will pop up.
