Damn good feeling isn't it? I remember when I got mine to fire for the first time. Congratulations, you have a very nice bike going there. Can't wait to see the bodywork in place.

Yes,its a surreal experience when you start a bike that you've never heard running and bought back to life for the first time. B)

So many things rush through your head...excitement,concerns...do I have oil pressure,no horrible rattling noises,no oil leaks,is it running on all 4?

Arhhh,the joys of motorcycling...don't ya love it. :)

The body work has been painted....came up a treat.B)

Now for the painstaking job of fitting the pin stripes, then having them clear coated over.

Heres a quick look.

She looks SLICK mate! Amazing build and exquisite work on the pin striping. That cowl and black front fender really set it off nicely. Great job man.
Shoot, I wish i could get mine back together that fast! ;)
