If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !

Welcome Square, from north of Uxbridge.

Be sure to post some pictures and maybe start a build thread about your progress.  Its a great way to share your experience, and to seek some help if ever you have question along the way.

Hello square from near Erin, Ont!
Put yourself on the map, since there are more of us around here than it shows!
Good like with your 550 project. I had one many years ago, but after many years not riding I now have a 78 750K which is coming together nicely with a re-built engine.
