[Vmass]

I'll let the parts continue to dry and the decals to gas out for another day or so then start the clear again. I enjoy this stage..all the work is starting to pay off at this point..cool.

Alright, I stop hanging around here for a couple days and try to find that Honda for you to paint.

[nvr2old]

Honda..? What kind? Tell ya what, I'll trade you a paint job for your 900F..hee hee.. I love those bikes, and I want to make a Freddie Spencer replica out of one SO bad..then..if I could only find a Kawasaki ELR..my life's mission to replicate all the great Japanese Superbikes would be complete.

I want a 76 550 done up in the stock brown color scheme. This was my 1st street bike that I bought when I was 15.

I have to update my profile, I sold the 900F a couple of months ago. That was my bike of choice for a long time. I have owned 3 1100F'S and 3 900F'S.

I have always wanted a Wes Cooley, and now that I have one, I have left the F's behind.

Ah yes, I remember our conversation about the 550. There's a couple of brown one's on eBay right now.

I rode all the F models, had an '80 750F. My friend had a 900F and I've ridden and always lusted after a nice 1100F. That was the first bike I ever did 135mph on.

I, too, have always wanted a Wes Cooley, so I don't feel like I've "down-graded" at all..in fact, the Suzuki is every bit the bike the 900F was and a little more. I still like em, though.

I am keeping my eyes open, hoping I find a CB550 close by.

I did see the ones on Ebay. I have purchased bikes over the internet and been happy with it. But, I have also been screwed!!

Years ago I bought an 1100F on ebay, 3k miles away. Had it shipped and put it aside for awhile. When I finally got to tinker with it, I realized it was a 900F engine.

Had a go around with the previous owner who insisted he had no idea. I got something out of him, but it was a bad deal.

So, if I can buy local, I do.

I'm a busy guy......I like multi-purpose products, such as those shop rags. It gives me the ability to wipe the wheels and chain down and then go right into a little waxing!! Huge time saver.
