      That looks awesome! When I repainted my 83 this past spring I had thought about doing a "Cooley" paint scheme. I saw one for sale on ebay a couple of years ago that was done up in the same paint scheme and thought it looked great!
      Please post some more pics when you can.
      Thanks and congrats!

        That's a pretty nicely modified 1150, looks great. I'd replace that chain pronto though Or is that an 1100E?

          I know you've been plugging away at this for a while. It looks great. Nice to see it come together.

            That's an 1100, at least bodywise. Gorgeous! How much did that set you back?

                Really, really nice looking bike.
                This is the bike I'm building,....on way more of a budget,...but this is inspirational for me.

                Very nice Mario.

                          Not if you use the Ichiban Moto method.

                              Scored them off of craigslist from a racer that was being parted out. 35% off list. Still pricey, but I saved a lot on everything else. So I splurged.
