    Here's mine. Needs work but I'm getting there. It's not gonna remain this color. Hoping to go with a metallic blue color. Should be running this spring though. I can't wait.







    If you don't own a fire extinguisher, do me a personal favor and go purchase one... immediately.

          When I first got it.

          Now, but before I moved my license plate and tail light.

          With the moved tail light. I still need to install my front turn signals and wire all the signals in. Probably should lengthen the wires for the tail light too, I don't want any tension on it.

              Pics.... Finally!

              Here's a couple pics of the work in progress, as well as the reason for the work, lol. I hope I do this right

              Left side of Bike:



              Right Side of Bike:


              Gauges:


              The culpret...(sorry for the flash....)


              The shift fork has the number 1 Stamped on it... Can I assume that this indicates it's the number 1 shift fork.... probably a stupid question.

              Thanks all

                  Awesome, thanks man. I think that's the only part I have to replace.... other than a cracked master cylinder.

                      She's still a little rough, but I like her.
                      Have a nice day and ride safe

                          You bet bill, no longer nekkid. got a cigarrete lighter and a cup holder on it, I'm good for as long as the tank has gas now. all I need now is a larger tank, think I'll hit the local bone yard and see if he's got a standard tank for it, kinda trying to get back to the original setup...so to speak, too many "special" parts been put on to find all of them, anyway, have a nice day and ride safe

                                Yeah, but once you get up close, it's still the same old Barrachino ( that's an Italian term used in reference to those old street food vendor carts, alot of them were held together with bailing wire and the time frame equivalent of duct tape. generally it's considered a contraption that is all half assed put together, it might stand there properly, but Don't put any real weight on it or else...) hence my name for my bike "il barrachino". the Italian fellow I got the term from found it to be rather humorous when I told him what I call her. but anyway, she looks alright from 30 or 50 feet, but up close.........
                                have a nice day and ride safe
