Unfortunately they stopped producing them about 30 years ago. Not too many people bought them.

Muzzy had a boatload of them back in the day I was told.

Got my Luminous Navy Blue bodywork back on my MK II. Just had to take some pictures of the new paint for the painter, and me.

Now got to roll it back on the lift, and take the motor apart. Going to put all the killer parts from my last race motor back in it!!!!

I think I enjoy working on my bikes more than I do riding them anymore!!!!

At the time, I didn't know I was going to change the color of bike!!!!

I just didn't eat much for a few months so I could afford the blue paint job!!!

Can you just change the pictures for the BOTM??

Boy!!!! Am I getting rusty, took me over two hours to take the top end off my MK II!!!!! Its sure nice when the base gasket don't glue itself to the cases!!!

I should have my fancy cylinder head back soon. I can't wait to hear that motor run again.
That was the healthiest motor I ever had in my Superbike!!! .
