Yeah comments like that and lots of others got him bannedHe's not as bad in person but his forum persona is pretty bad.In the market here I'd probably get $1500-1800.Not that she's for sale.Honestly if I was really smart as soon as I started her running I should have flipped her.Happy I didn't but the thought did go though my mind.

Aaaah one of *those* I see...

Mate I think we're all happy you didn't, it's turned out exceptionally well.

And I like your new avatar too

Where did you find that screw driver/nut driver thingy and whats its real name? I just did a sync today and thought about how nice something like that would have been.

bike looks awesome by the way, the yellow goes well with it.

$201????????????
BS, i will give you $202..........for the front valve cap
That is beautiful, you really have done a nice job there, that yellow just displays so well, and I agree with Chuck, anyone who does not think so, needs their eyes tested.
You truly are a craftsman, sir.
What was the process involved to get the wheel rims so shiny, I have to do mine shortly, steel wool, buffing compound, wet sanding??

Was a statement aimed at all us guys doing older bikes on the site.The guy works at a big local dealership so it was taken in that context.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,I like it anybody that doesn't can not look.Most seem to so I'm not going to worry about the ones who don't.
Wet sanded IIRC 400,600 then 1500 then 2 grades of buffing compound and a very patient wife

Carb sync tool from Pro-Motion.I got it from a local shop because it was cheaper than getting it shipped from the US.Turn out to be way cheaper.

Coming home yesterday noticed in the paint on the minivan in front of me the headlight was not on.Great,fuse blown?Get home check the fuse,it's fine.OK strip the fairing off and get the bulb out,looks good.Well take the tank off then.Finally find the male end of the "spare" connector under there.Plug it in and I have headlights again

Gee does it help if you put things in the right order.Have not been running air in the fork because of a cut line between the legs.Decided to get one of the other air fittings I have and get air in.Took the legs down and put the fitting on then the rubber spacer ans the "washer".Tried airing it up and got a hissss.Go WTH and leave it for a while.It dawned on me in a bit that the washer and rubber spacer had to be under the fittings.Did that and when I put mt small bicycle pump to it nothing to be heard

Went to do some shopping and dinner with my wife after work today.My bike was left at work.Go back to get it then went a back way to Sooke Rd.Coming out waiting for an opening it traffic I notice a bike at the end of the line of cadges.A yellow Tea Kettle Kat,the rider was in a yellow with black and white set of full leathers.Long braid and body type said woman.We rode along both 4>1's singing.It was so cool.
