Corner the market? Hey John I have five fingers on my hand and it will make it easier to count the bikes that way...I also want the Turbo bike in Penn and the big bore job in Ga. That turbo would really be a kick in the pants with the sidecar. Oh well just dreaming ...may be?

Drool drool.
Were those tanks on venturers bigger or the same as standards?
Anyway... looks like I started to dig into the bike... again. Some more suspension.
I got my rear v-max shocks installed a few weeks back, I hope my new front forks are in the mail, took all the brake hoses off and had new made... hope they arrive on friday. Now I'm mentally preparing myself for seat re-conditioning and the making of new mufflers. Just the guts. Need some more low rpm torque. They have a set of vacuum gauges on sale, so I can sync. the carbs. 50 euro (bout 60 bucks US or so). All four of them. Yumyum.
Still almost finished on the fork brace project.
Wish me luck and money.

If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game.

That 81H is just like the one I acquired years ago. It is now a different color with, unfortunately, an older tank. The original 81H tank was over 6 gallons, US. Does anyone know if they came in different stock colors than the darkish blue? BTW, if you ever decide to strip and paint the tank, those are thick decals at the knee indents and are murder to remove! (May have been better to sand and paint over them.)
