here are some more pics. I've had it for a little while, had some problems when i bought it, minor problems, like it needed a new master cylinder, headligh,t battery, it may have a grounding problem, or alternator problem, because the battery drains out in a week and i have to charge it.  had an oil leak due to gaskets, needed new fork seals and tires. got everything fixed except the battery deal..I play to make this bike in tip top shape and make it my daily driver. Eventually i plan to add a front wheel finder, so i don't get sprayed by road water :)..Maybe some engine work like boring and what not if i get the itch.  It rides good now, its street legal with all new blinkers and lights.  So we'll see where I take it.

Nice Bike - Nice Garage- Welcome Fellow Texan
Found this bike in completely stock condition in Feb. 08. Paid over twice what my new one cost 30 years ago. Am trying to re-create the look of the late 70's Drag Bike styling.More later. 4-2-10 It ain't stock any more and I have no idea what I am trying to create !
