Thanks Chris, I've gotten my inspiration, knowledge, and encouragement from so many of our fellow members. I'm happy to pass along the Karma [smiley=mad.gif] .BTW how is your rebuild coming along? D2

Sorry for the delay, everything is now ready for the rebuild, I am just waiting for a little extra cash to get the drive shaft rebuilt along with the swing arm and then I can get the front/rear wheels onto the frame.

The engine is going to a specialist for a complete rebuild and I hope to have her ready for the summer!

I'll post pics up when it starts to look interesting :)

Finally done and everything seems to be checking out OK from my first test ride. Yesterday was a beautiful day to take her out about 1/2 mile, got up to 30mph in third gear. I will time her next and rebalance the carbs. Enjoy the Pics, I'm happy, D2
