    Damn, Bruce, very impressive. Ever thought about going into engine detailing as a line of business? I've seen big-time rap superstars with WAY less bling than that engine.

      I'd probably starve to death! Or be doing nothing but Harleys.

          Mine looks like it came from an impound lot after my aqua-ride to BC.

            I know the feeling. There was mud and grime on mine absolutely everywhere! I hate rain....

              Bruce that is simply amazing. I have to ask; how long did that take to get cleaned up from the monsoon?

                It wasn't too bad. I picked away at it for a few weeks. It took longer than usual because I went ahead and did a few other things like check the valves, replaced a slightly bent fork ear, installed a volt meter, synched the carbs, etc. I just got it all back together today:

                  Looks good Bruce! Those before pics nearly brought a tear to my eye.
                  And you know I'm not kidding.
                  And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
                  Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

                        I installed a VDO guage... the same style as the oil temp gauges I sell. I need to find some different clamps, but I like the way it turned out. Here's a crappy pic:

                          Cool! Works well with the oil temp gauge! How's that look from the front side?

                              Looks sharp! Don't drop it When someone knocked my bike off its center stand the trip meter knob got smashed... I assume those would be in the way of a fall :/ That said, how expensive are those gauges? It's a very nice clean look
