That Kat shined a bit on your bike and now you have the bug!!! You're DOOOOMED!! DOOOOOOMED I say!!!! Muahhhahahahah...
OK.. also think you're spending too much time prettying and not enough time dirtying. But it is looking sharp.. ya know.. for a rebuild. But I can see the bolts holding your Ignition box don't quite match.. that looks terrible!!
Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

Actually the engine isn't looking all that nifty right now. It's pretty dirty up close. I have polished the crank end covers, and polished the clutch cover yesterday when I put new clutch springs in. It was chromed and took forever to scrape the remaining chrome flakes off. The weather had made some mild corrosion, which was a flat b**ch to get cleaned off. Aluminum oxide is what rubies are made out of, which explains that. So there are some little places where I couldn't get the buffing wheel that look shoddy. But from 20 feet, its a winner.
Oh, and about those ignition bolts, I'll get them polished up pronto....
That's okay Ivan... when you're riding it... nobody will be able to get that close to you anyway...
(Except those who will give you a hard time no matter HOW good it looks...)
lol
Ben... you are SUCH a martyr...

Bike looks great Ivan, looks like quite an improvement since it left my garage. Oh and sorry about the bolts for the ignition box. Tod must have slipped them in there while I was distracted (going to kegorator). You just have to keep an eye on that guy!
