Appears to be a bottle of Heineken but it is in the koozie...
Wrong bottle, David. Heineken doesn't have an embossed surface. Looks like a trendy, hipster micro-brew of some sort. After all, Stev-O stays ahead of fashion trends. Lead, never follow is his mantra.

Sorry to buck your logic Cal, but it was a Heineken.  No trend, hipster, micro brews in my beer fridg, the wifey bought the "green beer" and that's what I'll drink! If it's cold, I'll drink it, my latest fav is Modelo...

Or Shiner Blond.   Those are my go-to beers right now.  Gotta support the Texas breweries

Hey Joe....yeah, I like the Firemans too, it's made an hour away in Blanco.

Here's a shot of the drink fridg right now, we're pretty stocked up for the weekend....




Mostly cans as they will be going in the boat this weekend. Couple of nice Italian bottles of vino for the dinner party tomorrow night [w/Blackened Tilapia] and a bottle of Jack!

Well, thats got lunch covered, what you going to do for dinner.... ;D

Well, it was a good Holiday weekend!  Thanks for the offer of help, but we did pretty good at cleaning up!







These also went on the boat and were a hit: 50 shots of Jell-o!



Need to go shopping, feeling a little like Old Mother Hubbard!

Partly the reason they won't let him in, Mick. The balance has to do with that whole episode of him and a pet goat... Another story for another thread  ;D ;D ;D

Cal - you "remotely" know the history of Texas, not sure who/when started calling it the "Great State of Texas"?   But is hasn't been The Republic since 1845!

I'm not Stev-o, but I used the Vesrah gasket kit for my 78.  It had everything I needed, including the 4 copper crush washers for the exhaust.

I know some don't necessarily prefer their head gaskets either but I'm using it on Stella and so far, so good as I have no oil leaks on her after a couple of thousand miles.

Thanks guys.  The air box is a vintage Henry Abe unit, bought it on ebay a couple years back. The bike came with one on it but was in poor shape, traded it for a set of H2 carbs! [that I need to send to Nils for vapor blasting]

Body set is still in paint, need to give my painter a kick in the ass! 
I have a spare K4 tank, may mount that for a test ride this weekend.

Still have quite a few "odds & ends" to button up, but having it running is a big milestone...
