Dedication.
'It's in the details...' Nice.
Reminded me of a shot I had from a few years back.

Mike was this photo taken back around 1980? Just curious. Since we have never met -- no insult intended. You could be an old fart like me. Great pix.

Ric we have met. You are a young man... and loaded with talent. Great pix.

Looks like a Kawasaki. Could be KZ900 or 1000. Side cover looks like it might be a 73 900. It does have an aftermarket swingarm.

Ah yes. Your own shop. Cool! I'm the reverse. Worked on a lot more Hondas than Kawasakis.
