OK, got the front end back together with the stock MKII rotors for now. Got some outdoor pictures and the fins really pop.

If I remember correctly, I ordered some Tarozzi parts from here:
www.fastfromthepast.com/servlet/the-template/faq/Page
Hopefully the link works.
No progress on the body parts....been keeping my eyes open but nothing in my price range so far (cheap).

Took a couple of phone pictures yesterday while out on a ride....I just love the look from the back with the fat tire.

After a long and horrible battle with a rusty gas tank....I had another one painted to match and while it was there, I had emblems added to it and the side covers. Redline cycles custom made the replica MKII badges for me. They came out really nice. There are still things that I'd like to do / change but I'm calling it done. Anything else I do will be a "new" project.

Nice bike...attention to detail is superb. To get a bike built to this level is not easy. Props....

Thanks...there are some things I'd do differently but it functions really well. I was browsing for an old thread of mine and ran across this one. I realized that I never really finished the thread. I had planned on adding a lot more detail but never got around to it. Now I'm working on my '78 A and I've already fallen way behind on documenting the progress on that one too! :whistle:
