Thank you! We have a little on the ground ourselves, by not like Western Co.

Had the good fortune of spending a small amount of time in GJ, Fruita, Durango, Telluride, etc. mostly on the way to Moab, San Rafael Swell, and a few of the National Parks in that part of the world!

Thanks for the warm welcome from all!

I will post up a few pics. Is the album area the best place to post them?

All but the 750 are complete. The 750 is my Winter time project that will be built as an original paint (orange) stocker with a few period correct mods: Lester Mags, custom seat, finned engine accessories, ham can K&N's, and CB400F bars.

I am on the hunt for a RC Engineering exhaust to complete the build, please let me know if anyone has one a lead for one for sale( I also posted in the Wanted section).

Thanks in advance for all of the help along the way!

Good Evening!

I added a few pictures in the gallery. Looking forward to warmer weather and longer days to get a few better ones.

Under the Gallery tab at the top of the page, then under member galleries.

Not certain I did it correctly? If there is a better location I can repost!

Will certainly grab some when she wakes from her Winter slumber.

I am currently running Russ Collins 6 into 2's without any fiberglass around the baffles, it is truly a sound only rivaled by a 60's era F1 car or the real Original 6, the RC166. Which to this date is the most ear piercing mechanical sound I have ever had the pleasure of hearing!
