      Thanks! I'm already looking to snag another one here soon to make pretty. There are a couple for around $500 floating around CL that I think I could easily restore if not build up a second motor and squeeze as much HP out of it I can, might even try out a turbo I found.

          Hopefully the wiring loom will be OK in the bike you end up getting!

            Congrats for make a basket case into a running bike. It is no small feat to conquer one of these bikes after it has been mangled.

            As long as you like it, that is success.

              It's still got some bugs to work out and I need to shim the valves but otherwise I love it. Next up new Kevlar clutch, tires should be here tomorrow, then finish the custom seat.

              Working on a design for some body panels and maybe even make a custom tank.

                    After I get the tires on this weekend and do some interstate test runs for shake down I should be golden to roll wherever!
