    Bill,

    Congratulations on BOM - and thanks for sharing the story behind it. Pre-owned bikes like that just don't come along very often... heck, just in that condition, never mind the history and mods! Nice paint too - the bike looks terrific! I especially like the sutle bling with the chrome side stand. Looks like you have 82/83 OEM shocks too, nice touch, looks like they belonged all along. I bet with the tuning parts installed she rides very nice Enjoy.

      Beautiful Bill. Love the paint. I'm guessing you have to be careful with that bad boy or your buying rear tires more often than most. +1 on pipe side pics!

            Nice! This is what I want mine to look like...of course the engine is a whole other world but this is the stance that I always wanted to have! A shot of the other side would be great!

            Congrates on getting BOM!

              After seeing that my bike made the BOM i had to call my friend Troy, I think he was as excited as i was.. Thanks for all the emails and replies on the motorcycle.... only thing else i want is to install a set of G4 cams,

                  Congrats of the BOM Bill. That bike certainly deserves it. Thanks for telling us the history of the bike and how it came to be yours.
