Tri.... scores one for the barn find column 79MK11

So..i am way happy ...this thing is like trying to hold onto a jelly fish...is is so
smooth...i am pretty sure this is better than a factory paint job...it is almost hard to grip the parts









i sent this off in two boxes that compared to how it arrived back today..my shipping job looked like i paid a blind chimp to box it

documentation here

few more...i emptied some closet shelves and tucked this stuff away...we have a new cat "Kawasaki" and Kawi is a psycho..he will party down on this stuff big time



anyways it is safe for now...tomorrow i will be in forward again







these new emblems (tank ones only) turned out to be the wrong size hole to hole?? but the right MKII block style...oh well..i bought them from a great source so i know i am covered...the old ones will work until we can sort out why the holes are wrong...and ship em back and forth...no big...

last ones till tomorrow...weekend should be great










boy the emblems are purty....i am excited to get the right ones...the old ones are in great shape...but the P.O had the older style...oh well

these emblems were from another source and i did not mean to make it seem i unpacked them with the body....they have been here at my house already

Wowee! your pictures look even better than your painter's. The bodywork looks killer! That bike is going to get some attention at the show. I can't wait to see it put back together. What ever happened with that pipe?

i called him tuesday and said hey..just wanted to touch base...thought maybe my number got lost...he said....oh no...in fact i might get over to the shop today and it should be done...running to appointments and such....no worries i said....i wont use it till this weekend...wed..thurs...now fri..no call...i forgot to call today to be fair.....but still i wont ride it this weekend and i need to clean shop and find the new J- collars i bought from Z-1ent and never used yet...stuff like that


and really...if he is not calling me then maybe he is doing a tits job and found some glitch...knowing i will be looking close and all...

i'll call monday....

it will be fine.....
man i wanna ride it...lol

I'm gonna be positive and say he'll probably get it right this time. Usually, people step up their game when they realize that you are a nit-picky bastard that will check every detail. This bike deserves a 10/10 pipe, even if this pipe can't get there.

BTW your bird picture reminded me of a funny story. This time of year when it is nice out, I like to take all of my breaks outside at work. Since I work in the Woodlands, Tx there are lots of trees, and consequentially lots of birds. Recently, we have been noticing a Red Cockaded Woodpecker. (No, I'm not kidding with the name: Click--> Woodpecker ) This guy thinks that one of the metal lightpoles in the parking lot is a good tree for a hole. He'll spend hours out there hammering away at the lights on top of the pole. It's hilarious, you can hear it reverberating from 100 yards away. No quit in that bird.

we have a pair here at the bedroom windows bird feeders..i did not know they ate seeds,but boy do they...they are way alien looking when they are up close and they seem to have realized we are on the other side of glass and dont bail when we move around to better see em...

super cool birds and paired for life

super cool flight pattern too....like darts


they are treat and the cat goes nuts when they show up neon red and flashy...

i gotta sleep..unreal week...yawing for three days...later

thats going too look so frickin nice!

sent an e-mail to see what can be done about finding the right tags and for now just used the old ones with new screws...they look fine




took the old ones and ran em but am bummed to be messing with this at this stage...


old ones should fly for now...shortcuts that are to be expected i guess...
