  • SF officially DONE (sorta)

    It be done as much as any bike can be ... until ya find something else that just needs a little this or that







    This project started as a carb cleaning.
    Turned into an XSperience like trying to eat just one cookie, one thing just leads to another and now your up late at night in the garage saying to yourself, "Think I'll just clean up the engine some" then the next thing ya notice it needs a little paint, then the covers need attention, fins might look nice if polished, might as well do the final drive fins too, hmmm... how about ........

    BTW,
    my eyes have been straying over to where the bike in the G frame is sitting

    Wow...Very sweet looking machine!!! Lots of hard work in that for sure.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        Umm.... no
        I like riding the Merriam SF with the Vetter, rain or shine.
        And this one is currently "no op" registration and no insurance

            I've cut the weeds there a few times but ...
            it's not my yard, just using the driveway for pics.

                I think your bike looks awesome. Just the right amount of mix with the black & the chrome. Even the split with the chrome mix on the exhaust makes it look better. Love the work on the fins & the back drive - just adds the extra. Great bike - its all what I like - Dan

                  I agree! I like the balance between the black and chrome. That chome heat shield is a really nice touch on the black pipes. Very well-done.

                          NICE. You can be proud of that one. I never fails to amaze me how nice the old 11s can be when put in the hands of those who give the bike the TLC it deserves
