    Ed, I managed to de-rust the tank a few weeks ago, rustbeeter worked pretty well, here is a pic I took awhile back prior to using it and after the acid dip. No loose particles. Pic is looking in from the fuel sending unit hole.

                OK, so imagine its a sunny Saturday morning, not a cloud in the sky, and not a chore to be done....which one do you pick? The GS or the FZ1? Such a horrible choice to have to make.

                The bike looks great!

                    That's one sweet looking bike. If mine looks even as half as good as that once I'm done, I'll be well chuffed.

                          Congrats Joe! First rides are sweet aren't they?

                          How does the engine sound? I think those third generation 700/750 engines are very sweet, and they shift like butter. Geared nicely for the freeway too. Just plain a nice package.

                            Sounds fantastic with the V&H 4/1, has a growl similar to the Yoshi on my FZ1!

                                I actually got the pipe on Ebay on a lead by Ed (Nessism) here on the board, I believe it was leftover stock, it was still in its original package.
