   Thanks,  I really wanted to be farther along than this,  but with things the way they are, I'm just glad to be this far. Once the oil cooler is on I'll ride it a bit more, then tear it down and powder coat the frame, then it'll go up for sale.

   I did, last October, my apologies for not following up. I was at that point where I either stripped it down powdered the frame and then sell it in the spring (which in hind site would have been a great idea, bike prices are just outta site right now) or just put it out there and see what I can get. 2 days later I got what I was asking for, very nice young man (they're all younger than me anyways). It had that moto tech GP pipe, I really loved that pipe, it looked and sounded great! Then I picked up the 85'FZ.
