Thank you For the kind words Z1kzonly.
When I bought my first street bike back in 1991 it was a 73 Z1 it had a 4"? wide alum spoke rear rim. I wanted the 8" wide but could not afford it. Plus all the other mods that went with it. I am building the bike I wish I could have had when I was a kid. Chasing my youth........

Not sure I know what I am doing? I blew the main fuse 3 times while wiring the bike. but I am sure learning a lot!

Been working it some and have some photos of some things I have already completed. We made some headway with the machined manifolds this week. Jim finalized the design and should be cutting parts next week. Fingers crossed :)

PLUMMEN,
I waited two weeks after I first seen it on Craigslist hoping it would be gone when I called him. When I called him and he still had it I knew I was in trouble................
