Today's purchases

[Guest]

Today I picked up a 79 1000E tank, a painted fender, a set of used Renthals, and the bracket kit from Salty to do the front brake twin pot upgrade. Man am I excited! I had to post on here because the look on my wife's face said that she was not sharing the same elation as I was.
Not quite as exciting as the day I picked up the 850 & 750 and my old XL125, but still a good day!!!!

Thanks

It's like Christmas but better! Where did you snag the parts?

Congrats! Having a wife, I've seen that glazed look in her eyes.....

One of my neighbors puts it all in perspective in a practical way. My husband likes his toys and that is fine with me. At least I know where he is and what he is doing. It could be an awful lot worse.

Well, I bought the Renthals from a guy on here named Sebastian24, I bought the brackets directly from THE man himself, Salty_Monk.
As for the 80 1000E tank & the painted fender, I bought both from Rice Paddy Motor Cycles in Columbus, OH.
I am going to do an official plug on here once I get the parts & can see them with my own eyes. But so far, Grant from Rice Paddy has been excellent. The tank was priced at $325 & I wanted it, but that was a little much. I called to ask about shipping & as he was looking over the tank & talking with me, he noticed some pin holes in the bottom. So he came WAY down & included shipping.
I have a good friend that lives in Columbus & he had already told me that Rice Paddy were pretty straight shooters.

I'll do an update on here once I get everything & probably a review in the vendor section.
If all goes well, I will order from Grant again.

Thanks
