    I couldn't tell you till I thought I could get it done and debugged before he got stationed. I love sneaky secrets....

        Just an update; haven't had the chance this summer to do much, I've been hitting it pretty good this weekend. The head has been rebuilt and installed, timing set and compression test done to ensure the valves lapped well and the new Pistons and ring seat well, the motor is ready for install. The carbs are ready for install but, I'll go through them one more time just to make sure nothing is in them. The fairing have been resanded for better repair of some low spots and better painting and the tank sealer is in for both bikes. Sunday will show some major results with the body work done with the graphic installed and the motor in.

          Back at it, again. Need to find a different color for the tank and deal with the wheels, the clear coat yellowed a bit. Working on the gauge pod now. Other than that, I think I'll be done soon.

              I wish I had a pic of it before 92 started working on it... and to think it almost left my yard as scrap metal.

                                I suppose I could get a pic with him on it. Dan straight I won't let him ride it, at the rate he's going he won't have any money left to pay for the MSF course.
