Those are just cool bikes. They may not do anything exceptionally well, but they look and sound good-and they are a part of moto-history."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

I also want to see the finished project, Chuck. I almost forgot you were even doing it. I started off reading the opening post and I have to say, stop worrying about the criticism from one member who takes pleasure in pushing your buttons. The rest of us look forward to your projects. I really enjoy your threads, and some of your techniques (like lighting a gas tank on fire) put a smile on my face. Keep up the good work, keep us entertained, and do what you do.1979 GS1000S,

Put decals on the side covers today and adjusted the switch positions a bit. Then I invited a buddy that has the 79 XS1100 for a ride. We went to a place called POPS out on reoute 66 just east of Edmond OK. Its a popular bike stop and when we pulled in ( and i will swear to it in any court ) of the 50 or so folks mingling in the lot nearly every one watched as we found a parking spot. Such a satisfying moment to know we shocked the house.
Anyway, I will take some pics and post them even though the covers arent cleared over the decals yet. Put 80 miles on her today and she ran exceptionally. Love that growling pipe tone it has.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Declas made by a local company called Image 360. Need to be cleared still.
