Thanks Barney. That's a fine looking project you have there. Getting them running is the most satisfying part, then the looks can take time. Make sure you check out Shop Talk for tips on getting a bike going again after a long layup, which I'm sure you've done already :orange

every now and then, when things are not going to well in the shop, i ask myself why i do it. and the answer is that riding is good....but time in the shop is also good. - CYBORG
