Wow. That was a quick build.
Hardly remember much at all.
How do you like the Marving exhaust?
You never see a motorcycle parked outside of a psychiatrist's office!

LOL, Well I really didn't do any build-documentation, very few pics ::)
Did have to do a little back-yard engineering on a few parts but I' pretty pleased with the outcome! Learned a bunch about these little Hondas.
Really pleased with the Marving- one sweet set o' pipes. PO had found them out west somewhere.
