To borrow a phrase: "looks pretty decent". :thumbs: Of all the mind bending bits that stand out, I sure do like the LH dual normal exhaust cans,...
Ever get to race this devil in a red dress????
Completed the flush of the tank with the acetone on hand, flushed with water and then mineral spirits, she wasn't nearly as bad as it was to begin...
As previously mentioned, the gas tank had been repainted, but looked great, so never really paid it much attention. As I'm about to install the...
Happy belated Captain....think we discovered a mutual bd a while back....hit the half century mark this year myself! Definitely a cool bike...
Kudos again on all your efforts on this project! I'd have punted long ago I think. It's weird that I'd give anyone a hand doing their project,...

Sharp looking bike indeed! UP got hammered hard last week already with snow, could be another heavy snow year in the midwest....just got back...
