I get a laugh when I see it just hanging there. Do you cover it up when you're not working on it?

looking good man.

i plan on purchasing a bike that has some cosmetic damage this fall/winter to work on and have ready by spring. Just wondering if you purchased any new fairings, and if so from where? I have seen alot of those aftermarkets on ebay and just wondering if its worth it to get those or are there better sites/dealers. i am hoping to get a 600 F4i or RR so if that helps as far as fairing sites let me know. it looks like you have done some work, is it worth buying a bike for 1500 and then fixing it up? or just look for a decent bike around 4k

nah, I don't cover it, I'm out in the middle of nowhere and it's under a car port so it's sheltered.

update: it's now sitting on the ground and after I put new oil and coolant in it started right up...

Very nice indeed. Now it is moveable. I would like to ask what happened, but I will use the search function because I've got nothing but time.
