    Matt, did you check E-bay for the tank badges? last time i checked there were 10 sets available. HONDA ELSINORE tank decals. BTW i hope you've dropped the forks back to where they belong on that puppy! Maybe you'll be able to go around a corner a little better.

    That's a dog? I thought maybe you had a rat problem or something.
