I am a 550-wannabe (have a bike that was a brake caliper away from road-ready in boxes now) moving to Ann Arbor, MI (U of M grad student). It's my first time living outside of NJ, although I love the city and the civility of the Mid-west. Anyway, just wanted to hear from other SOHC owners to get me motivated to continue the project when I get to Michigan (later this week). Just trying to get a list of resources going again after a few years of making contacts in NJ, so if anyone has information on good local places for things like media blasting, powder coating, etc, I would love to hear it. Thanks again, and hope to see you soon on the roads!
