What's up with the pics? Y'all aren't deleteing your photos from Photobucket after you post them are you?
That deletes them from everywhere you've posted them.

Hey Lon, I'm definitely keeping black with gold trim. Fairings pretty nice so I probly won't repaint it got another tank to redo & than just switch. Can't decide whether to do the fenders black or leave chrome.
Here're the rest I hope:top original 78E just needs carbs redone,30,000 miles.
middle is my barhopper. Somewhat modified. Carbs off for current redo.
Last is a 1 owner 79SF, 8000 original miles, original 1979 title. I'm "refurbishing" it to sell
next summer

Barhopper, don't drink and ride All those yours? wow, I am jealous i am in a down time with cash right now, would love to get some more bikes, want a MNS some day. Might even have to sell my current bike if things don't change soon At least I am comforted knowing that people in China and India are doing better, and at least all of our politicians are all rich selling our jobs over seas

I editted your post to correct your photos. What you had posted were Thumbnails, plus you had linked the same photo x 3.
What you want to do is view the photo, then on the right side or bottom depending on what view you have.....full screen or thumbnail the link/tag you want to COPY is the one that says [ img ] at the beginning...when you click on it, it will automatically get copied to your computer's clipboard memory, then temporarily paste it into a notepad document, then repeat for next photo, etc., then open post window here, copy and paste links from notepad into message, remember to place a carriage return/hit enter after each link so that they will display below each other and not sprawling all across the screen causing lots of side scrolling.

After looking a Toms pics (thanks TC) it reminds me that I need to clean my garage.
Sideways walking only in there and that's after getting rid of one of my projects.

Original owner of an original classic. Just out of curiosity, what is the V.I.N. so we can see the production #.
We used to have a thread here about that. Guess it's still around somewhere.
103K............ I still don't understand how some people have a hard time keeping these bikes in running condition.
Greg here's the vin, 2H7000914, yes I posted in the thread you're talking about also. I don't know either how people can totally ruin them but them do.

914 is a pretty low #. You got one of the first 1000 there.
Kewl!

I've seen in more than a few signatures, some have replaced their carbs with fj1100 carbs, some from a 1200 03 kawasaki carbs, how are you guys getting past the timing advance, are you drilling these and adding a port??
