I've had this bike for about 7 years. It was a free Craigslist find. My goal was to rebuild it, learn from the experience and spend money when it was absolutely necessary. Big thanks to STEELL for the parts. I can't remember exactly what I bought but I walked out with a usable tank, 3 types of exhausts, a cylinder and pistons with 25K on them and more stuff I can't remember. You have all been there through the whole process and it has been great. I'm getting tires and a license plate in the coming weeks once I figure out this annoying head gasket leak. My proudest moment is brass brazing the pitted caliper pistons. It's still no where near "finished" but I can legally ride it. Thanks again everyone!!!!

Yeah, that tank looks great. The headlight also is pretty badass - what kind is it?
