well, im done, as for now....boxed aluminum 92 kawi zypher swnger comin my way soon.

this is the second ever 300 dollar barn find ive done...and i think it turned out good. this is all home elbow grease work here, i didnt pay anyone a damn penny in labor on this bike!!! link at bottom.

im 18 and got 9 days till my 2 year degree graduation for automotive technology at my local technical college! ive actually had to teach fellow students how points, coils, and how carbs work!!!! The instructors, which are awsome....they focus on newer stuff...fuel systems, igintion, electrical, driveabillity, hybrid, hvac, ahhh the list goes on, computer controlled shit! luckly I grew up with a family full of auto mechanics, new/old, but the shit carrys over to bikes.

reguardless, i would have a hell of a time without this forum! thanks guys.

I need to get one of those barn find bikes. So far I have ten times that much money in my KZ1000. Looks good. Keep up the good work.
