You see? after a while, the bikes start to find *you*! ;)

Also, the paint job on the first bike looks great. The whole bike looks great.

...on the topic of nests, when I got one of my 750s there was evidence of a critter having lived a comfortable life in the airbox....

I went and looked at a 440 LTD that the fellow was having a hard time getting running right and he was looking to sell. I looked at the airbox and found a rather large mud dauber nest...I wonder if he ever got it out of there..
