Rebuilt the clutch master on one of my 85's and then took a nice ride.

WOW, you've been busy Ed!

Hey Bob, yea kinda really put it over the top this year. Can't wait to put the new painted parts on hopefully tomorrow. I was gonna do even more but time and money kinda ran out. As I chased the little bastard away ( damn m/m ) but I'm sure he'll be back. Hope to see you this year to ride again. Ed

Can't wait to see it. I think you and Bill Kratz have the nicest bikes in Pitts!

Friggin rain! I can't seem to get a break so I can give the intiminators a good testing. Maybe this weekend it will dry up enough to get out.

Tough to beat these two. I would try but I can't afford that much chrome!

Changed the oil, it was pretty black, hopefully it was not original (15k miles, Yamaha brand filter) and the PO just got it serviced at the stealership...

Thanks Bob, I feel your pain with this friggin rain. Damn, I've only rode it on test runs since the work done over the winter. We really have only had like 4 nice days of real nice riding weather here. I just hope mother nature gets all this rain out of her system so we have a good summer to ride. Ed

Mike, the chrome monkey is one of the most deadly. I'm thinking about checking into a rehab to get this addiction kicked.

Got some more pieces in yesterday. Gotta do some mockup and then the new stuff goes out for finish coatings. Hopefully just a couple more weeks. Taking way longer than anticipated :bang head:

Sounds like your going through the same thing as me, although my project started back in October. On my way to hopefully pick up my parts from paint:eusa_dance:
Fingers crossed...

" It suffered (breaking) wind damage last year."
Ya gotta stay away from the Mexican food, or use an activated charcoal seat pad to protect the upholstery!:rofl_200:

:biglaugh: If it was that, I would have left the seat on there loud and proud.

No, sadly, I pulled into my spot at my apartment, instead of backing in, and we had 50 mph winds with gusts up to eighty. At some point when I was posted at work, The bike went over. I think I was close to a panic attack when I pulled in and saw it on it's side.
