Well I am about ready to finish up my rebuild after my accident 3 yrs ago. Got my mutant rear stay back from the fabricator and low and be hold it is still too narrow. :annoyed: I am going to see if he can widen it a little. Once I get my tail mounted, it is off to the stealership for a carb clean, new iridium plugs and fresh oil. Put my fairings back on and I am good to go.

Tonight I'm cheaping out on a few gaskets. Might do some more sanding and pick up some fiberglass and paint. I'm going with truck bed undercoating cause I like the texture and I'm a cheap SOB.

Congrats Havoc :-)


I didnt actually work on anything last nite, got all my work done a week or so ago. Doing testing and tuning now on the work performed. got out today and put 50 or so miles on. rattled a bolt loose and a hose clamp. All fixed and no worries. Here is the project from last month to today.











and to quote Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith "i love it when a plan comes together"
