Minus the cafe dents and the new paint job. My profile pic is what I started with.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I tried to start one, but to be honest I never want to stop to take pictures. I can get more work done on the bike instead of messing with the camera  ;D

It's looking good Rob, what all have you worked on? Rebuild much, or was it a simplified teardown/clean/paint/reassemble?

I didn't rebuild much at all. I tore it down to the frame, de-greased for what felt like weeks,rebuilt the front forks, de-rusted rims, wrapped pipes (not installed yet)painted everything, Johnny5 has my tank right now doing knee dents and paint (desert sky blue.) I sent the carbs to Attila the Hun from the forum. I am not looking for stock, so I have had a lot of fun buying aftermarket parts. I'll really know if it was worth it by May or so when I try to fire it up again! What really is taking time is the electrical stuff. I am no good at it whatsoever. Any local forum guys/gals want to come up this spring and wire this baby up? I'll buy the beer.  ;D

Wiring isn't too hard, just get a good diagram, a test light, multimeter, pile of spare fuses, and have at it.
