Sorry I haven't had a chance to read through your entire build, but has this thing been in the making since 2008?
Yeah, longer than that actually but that's when I started the thread on the forum. Slow and steady. Me and build buddy Bruce been tinkering with it for about 3 hours a week, every Sunday, missing only a few over the years.
Many a tribulation. Time chewing set backs. Many things to accomplish the "theme" just chewed up time. We have "touched" modified or replaced every single bit on it. Saying that, one can toss a part at me and I'll tell you what we did to it. Sure someone will find some THING, but try for fun. Some have tried but gave up. I'm real good friends with Yamiya and Brown's plating among others.
All the changes may not have been executed well, or necessary, or even helpful. But, we tried.
I've owned it since 1974 and put boucou miles on it in different looks, till it finally gave up in 1995. I didn't start throwing money at it again until 2000, then stalled again, then 2008.
This will likely be the swan song, my legacy, as my riding days may be over. But we'll see. It will be finished anyway.
