brich, just a thought here... does your printer have a manual feed at the side or back for just such thick and especially rigid stock?

Best of success. :)

SWEET!

I have a 1000 LTD that I'm going to be working on, and I can only hope it comes close to yours. Loved the LTD 20+ years ago, bu not sure now... And your bike is making me want to pass on mine for now.

Enjoy;)

Thanks man. I posted a bunch of pics in the Gallery under the z1 section. I think my pics are on the second or third to last page last time I checked.

I been having a great time riding it. However I got two little oil leaks to fix. One on the alternator cover .. a few drips everytime I shut her down, no big deal. I got one drip fron the middle of the head too, it is small, but it falls right on the pipe and smokes. Kind of scares people at lights nect to me!! :laugh:

I need to work on some carb tuning too. I can't keep a constant throttle position when cruising without a lot of carb and exhaust pop.

:laugh: yeah man, I got played out on bike of the month I think. Don't get me wrong .. I ain't hating on anyone elses bikes, but I thought for sure with the amount of work I had into her and how she came out I could have been a contender. I did write in to the admins and ask if I was considered, I was not responded too. Hmmmmm ... :P

I have to put them back on and take some. I took them off to resand and polish the tank. Had a scratch that was bugging me and it got way out of hand ... you know how these things can be. :lol:
