    you did it!!!

    WOW!
    I'm impressed! You got the photo thing to work! Yep, that's it and you can't imagin how hard they are to come by, in these parts anyways. I have been told by many that it is a seal......but it's called a seal spacer ........?! I have a machinist working on the one I destroyed, not sure how it's going to go, but at least I'm hopeful. Thanx dew, you're a real trooper. Laura

        That's the way, DEW! Nicely sized so the image does not cause side scrolling, loads fairly quickly in consideration of XSives on dial-up, and shows enough detail what you're looking at. Now you're rready to tech the next person how...

          Ken, I've got too much to learn myself. By the way, our Bubinga blanks are some where in a ship in the Atlantic Ocean. They are due into our plant the 1st week of April depending on customs. You gotta have a blank to try a bowl out of!

              Thanx dew, I don't think I need anything else..... It seems I have extra of everything else, seals and dust covers. I get my tank back the end of this week, I had it lined. Bought the stuff to do it myself but heard from many that it was a real pain so bit the bullet and having it done local. So far I have about $1000. into it, paid $500 for the bike $500 on parts. The engine is real strong, but will have a mech do the tune up and all. I need to learn lots before I'm ready to mess THAT up! Had a friend do my paint job and was very pleased, so this has kind of been a group effort of sorts. Boy, will the guys at work be surprised when I ride her into work, they saw her before and won't recognize her at all when we're finished. She's cleaning up real well.
              I'll let you know as soon as I get the spacer, can hardly wait! Looks like I'm going to meet my deadline on this project! (knocking on wood-my head )
