    AWESOME and worthy project. Sad that the tank will not retain that groovy paint. Bike looks nappy, but not a disaster. Keep the photos flowing.

    Plus, I can't wait to hear your meltdown over a little carb problem on this one...

    Not that I'm one to talk, alot of people know my love/hate relationship with carb'd Ducatis.

    Well if you do decide you want to add some REAL power to that bike then come talk to me.

    we can work something out.

    i got all the tools necessary to really fuck up a perfectly simple project.
