Good move Ray. I love my midnights... They always draw comments when out and about.Originally posted by DiverRay
OK, Called the "ex" employer, and my "final" pay will be in my account Friday. I then called the owner of the bike, and will be going to get it Friday morning. I am NO LONGER a standard only guy, I'm now "SPECIAL" as well...
Did I say my girlfriend told me to try and get it??? SWMBO knows me well, and that's a great thing.

OK, the pics will have to wait. Just spent money on two NEW tires, and need to get ready to leave town for a while.
I did find the 140/90/16 E3 Dunlop (MU90-16)WILL fit, just need to let the air out to get it past the final drive.
Pics in about 12 days, give or take.Ray Matteis

Very nice looking midnight!
The F looks a little jealous of its new sibling.
Almost looks like 79 carbs on the midnight though

Brain fade on the carb thing
Didn't realize that the 80's still had drain plugs in the bowls.
