    Way to go Donald. I have been watching since the beginning and enjoyed all of it. Very Fine work sir.
    Now you need to send some pics to Cafe Racer on Velocity TV. It is easily as nice as the stuff they feature.

    Truth be told, the old cafe style bikes were never my thing, but you did a great job. Enough so to change my opinion. Well done, sir.

    What Cycle exchange did you use? Could it have been the one now called Cycle X in the middle of the woods in Hazelhurst WI. Ken builds some very sweet CB 750 motors. Search for Cycle X and check out his website.

    Great build...has me wishin' I still had my K1 and K2.

    Yes. Cycle X and Cycle Exchange in Hazelhurst Wisconsin are one in the same.
    Go to http://www.cyclexchange.net/StreetFighter Motor Page.htm
    You can see some of his motors and his shop.

    Don, that looks terrible so I'm gonna offer to you that I'll come pick up the bike free of charge just to get it out of your sight. I know how much it must hurt your eyes and I don't want you to suffer like that. That's just the kind of guy I am. You know, helping out friends. Just let me know where it is and I'll come get it ASAP. I'll even ride it as much as it pains me, but for you Don, I'd do it.

    Don, a little hijack here. I used to spend summers in Hazelhurst WI and I now visit at least 4 times a year. In August 2010 I was up in Minocqua WI (about 5 miles north of Cycle X) on my 07 RWB. I decided I needed a chain adjustment but didn't want to do it without a torque wrench so a friend suggested I stop at Cycle X and see Ken. I pulled up to his shop and asked if I could rent, borrow a torque wrench, or I would pay someone to adjust my chain if they didn't want someone using their tools.
    The owner comes out himself, askes me to sit on the bike and checks my chain for me. With me on it, it was still just right but Ken was kind enough to come out and help a guy he never met before. We talked for a few minutes and he showed me around his shop and I was on my way.

    Bottom line, Don, when you picked Cycle X, you picked a great guy to do business with and a master of the CB 750 motor. I'm sure you will be quite happy with that motor!
