So this is in 2013, took it off the road in 2014 for rust in the main frame web by the left foot peg. Pushed to back of shop. Bought a 2006 1800, rode and rode.

Bought a bunch of stuff from KYPondman in mid 2016, including a powder coated frame and NOS engine.

That's sort of true, got a NOS speedo with 4 tenths of a mile on it to go on her....


Still up in the air on fairing or not, have a windshield, and 3 good fairings, so we have choices. Been running the 83 cast wheels for a while, like them real well. Also have a Corbin Gunfighter for it. So maybe side boxes, but no top box.


Hope the border opens soon, need a Supervisor....

Would the old engine by chance be getting parted out? Still looking for some cylinder heads.

PM sent.


On a note, I pulled the tank tonight. Note to self..IF you are going to park for 7 ish years, don't do it with a FULL tank. Makes pulling the tank harder and messier.....

Still plugging along.

Forks apart for cleaning and new sliders and seals. Swing arm bearings refreshed and new seals. Alwing17 is coming next weekend with long reach snap ring pliers to swap driveshafts in to powder coated from old and rusty swing arm.

Hope to have a roller with motor in frame by end of the week.....

Sounds like supervision is light. A few more supers and about half that work would be complete. Good progress nevertheless.
