Welcome aboard, Slick.
Very nice Spectre. Dare I say that it looks better than new? I love that blue. The close up shows the great detail work done. You should be proud!

It's a fair bit better than my last bike, for sure!
Thanks for all the compliments - now I just need to keep taking good care of it so it stays that nice. Any tips on keeping a repainted engine nice and clean? (I would guess I don't want to use any highly-caustic carb/choke cleaner or anything, assuming that would eat the paint).
Here's my old one... a $400 special that blew a head gasket after about 2yrs of maintence-free servitude
'81 Suzuki GS1100... sold for $700!
