Does look good Andy.

K4 with a K7/8 tank?

I like the paint scheme on the tank.  Where did the decals on the tank come from?

Was out and about on the K4 on Memorial weekend ...  Bikes, Boats, Beer and BBQ, not necessarily in that order!

My buddy's neighbor was giving this smoker away, score!  He did say he would trade it for my Honda, but no way! He said he had a Harley in the garage, I didnt care to see it.
