George, it sounds like you are well on your way to many fun and trouble-free miles on your 5th gen. It's a great machine, and the 5th gen just...
Sounds like you bounced back ok, at least you are here to write about it. Scary, though. And the good advice on ATGATT is certainly right on....
Welcome to 5th gen heaven, michaels214. Looks like a good solid machine. Now go ride it!
Nice looking 2000, laker. Go for it, you'll be fine
+1 on everything Pliskin said. General condition will tell you a lot about how the bike was treated. If it's clean and just has a few scratches,...

If you read through bweiss's build thread, he talks about "projecting" I think is the term he used, the wings onto the side of the bike and...
Yes, the engine does make some pretty noise, What kind of paint do you have on yours? Mine is flat black primer right now - it will take some...
