Two things that will most likely provoke argument in the most polite of societies is politics and religion, for some it seems guns fit in both categories.

Yes, James did a fine job on that, I can't wait to see his restored CBX.

Look good!

Looks good James, nice bike I am thinking my XS has a radiator problem, and It might be leaking power steering fluid also

Here's a little update on the GL1000. Yes, I did those timing belts! I've had a hell of a problem with the carbs though, and have ended up sending them to someone who specialises in the GL1000 carb rebuild. The Dyna S ignition is great, as are the green meanie coils. Theoretically, once the carbs are back, the bike should run well (it ran before but rough on one cylinder). I'm awaiting the radiator scoops to be resprayed, so they'll be on in the next pics, same with the headlamp atthe re-chromers..

Because?

That is because they are all that really matter Your life, your familys life today, and all of your after life is tied to those two things Doesent matter what you think, YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE, Taxes are here and now, and where you spend eternity is up to you Only One Man in all of time said "I am the way, the truth and the light, NO one goes to the Father, but through Me. He that belives in me shall be saved, he that belives not shall be dammed" WoW, that should get the atheist's and agnostic's up in arms

getting back to bikes,,,,,,,,,,,

And restoration of them, I actually dont think there was much actual restoration of Jap bikes, prior to the internet.

If you think about it, Ive had web service for fifteen years, and there were people here that had it five years before I ever did. So take our xs bikes, subtract fifteen years, and you have fifteen years old, yes some of them have been sitting that long. But these bikes are big, and didnt wear that much anyways if kept up , and you could still get a dealer that could service the bikes fifteen years ago. So I think the question really is, if there were never a web, would there be this sort of thing, with restoring bikes at all, since it would be next to impossible without all the help from web users, and ebay sales.

There still would be breakers, or course, but methinks that most of these bikes would have been crushed if there had been no internets to make things easy for us to communicate. Harleys have always been in demand here, for restoration but they were produced in fairly large numbers and had longer model runs than the three year averages that the japs tended to build bike models for.
