    Just in time for winter

    Hey all, I just got my bike back on the road after an overhaul. She's a '79 F, just turned over 30k and her name is The Green Dragon. She just flies.

    mods:
    Jardine 4-1 exhaust
    Brembo RCS19 front radial master cylinder
    Spiegler SS brake lines front and rear
    Metzler lazertecs front and rear
    Drag Bars
    NOS coils, new plugs and spark lines
    Stage 3 Dynojet kit with pod filters
    Airtech Quarter fairing with green windscreen
    Green/black paint with poly clear coat
    Custom rear LED brake/run/signals and bracket
    Green LED accent lights over the motor
    Kuryakyn front LED bullet signals

    other work:
    valve adjustment
    all fluids and grease
    brake pads
    rebuilt front suspension
    rebuilt and tuned all carbs
    new carb boots
    lots-o-wiring and cleaning









    Cheers!

    Nice work, man! I really dig the metal flake paint! Nicely done!
    Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which you can die

    Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba….Hunter S. Thompson

      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

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

                Man...thats t!tt!es with big Nipples!!!!!

                "Sunshine" is just about done with all the mechanical stuff for the season.

                Plan for her is to upgrade the fuse block, clean, clean, clean everything.. paint what needs painting (most of her....) already have new daytona bars for her with new grips waiting to install.... im in the process of ditching ALL standard bulbs with LED's, square headlight gone with either a dual round or dual stacked small rectangle 'street fighter' style headlamps with BiXenon bulbs and replacing all worn out rubbers (guage mounts, bezel seals, ect....) as money permits. Ive cut back on my consumption of Bombay Sapphire and stuck strictly to beer for a while to build up my funds

                Stock Pilots/ 110 mains (to change)

                Windjammer(wiring issues)
                SonyMarine unit for Ipod/Polk Speakers
                New paint/brakes to come!!

                It is better to be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt....
