This is ridiculous. You sir, are ridiculous. Where did your almost inhuman attention to detail come from? B-e-a-utiful collection of parts, and your work space is a direct reflection of your quality of work. You aren't, you can't be a real person...

Kudos on the progress and awe inspiring bike.

Very nice build.

Hey in my research I found that the HRC hose to replace the rear brake resivour sweats. Giving you the heads up. Apparently there is a see through hose out there that doesn't sweat brake fluid that people are using instead.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT THIS BIKE better MAKE IT TO BIKE OF THE MILLENIUM!!!!
Holy shite, now I know why you were hesitating. You weren't just planning on doing a simple resto or even spicing it up. You were planning on breaking Fort Knox in the process. Thank God for OCD Bikers. lol B)

Unbelievable build. Moto-gadget porn, impeccable fabrication (Gotta love TIG), and insight to see it through. Makes the rest of us want to start over and redo everything we have done to date on our bikes!

Thanks again for sharing.

Answered for Rich.

I think leon was talking about what may be the break light switch that is coming off the very top of the MC.
