Hello Everyone ,I know its been some time , I had to sacrifice my build time for( work pays the bills time) . Any way I've been doing some small jobs on the bike like finishing up the exhaust mount . I had made the mount hole to large so it had to be sleeved with an 8mm threaded bushing then welded and milled down . added before and after pics. after pic with the bolt .

After looking at the pictures, I would say that is an understatement. Beautiful paint job. Please post pictures of the ELR if you have it finished. I'm sure it looks incredible!

Im getting Close :) I put the fender the other day and i should have the tank in about 2 weeks . Can't wait to start tuning again , Im running the rs34's and started tuning last year before pulling it apart, i'd say im about 50% complete adjusting the carbs and there are several more mods i like to do , the best part is i can finally ride her lol.

Thank so Much , to everyone ,for the inspiration and to the friends who helped along the way during times when I need a hand , this project started in an apartment and a great friend handed me a key to his shop and home so that I could get to were I am today SEVERAL years later with many bumps in the road I'm almost there . I should have the tank with in two weeks so that I can continue tuning the RS34's ,there's a few mods still needing to be done like floating the speedo bracket on grommet's .I'm going to fab a billet one in some months to come ,and there are some small items I'm sure will come up while in use ,Will keep you all posted , Thanks KZ brothers :)
