Bike looks great !!!
Gotta get my butt in gear, and get going on my LS, before the 'surface of the sun' season comes back in about 5 weeks !!!!!!

Drop dead gorgeous LS, Peter. Ride it like you stole it.

Wow, Peter, that's a really spectacular specimen.
Don't you just love the way those bar-enders look like they were designed just for that bike? How did you manage the right-hand one? I had to custom-make an extension because the handlebar actually ended short of the throttle grip.
I think you'll find the SS brake lines well worth whatever you paid for them. Mine made big difference; enhanced the braking (feel and power) considerably.
I see you removed the air injecton system and plugged the head poirts. A word of advice: I lost a plug about 2000 miles after I installed it. No damage, but I probably shouldn't have used anti-sieze. I check 'em once in a while now.
I posted a link to pictures of my '84, but it was a while ago..
