            did a small amount of work on the bike yesterday since it was 20 degreess I have been meaning to make a headlight mount, the one on there was made quick to get a running light on but it is way to high. I'll post some pics after a cup of coffee



            nothing spectacular, I'm probably gonna tap some holes on the lower tree when warmer weather hits

                    I'm really diggin' your rides.

                    I'm in the process of resurrecting my '81 450L, and it needs something done to it along these lines, especially since it's missing bits and pieces here and there.

                    After seeing this, it just makes me laugh at how much "extra" stuff there is on the bike when it sits stock.

                      Saw your bike on youtube and I really like the sound.
                      Reminded me of an old fishing boat at idle, but I?m sure it sounds a hell of a lot when you rev her up.
                      I might go for almost straight tubes after I get it tested. The muffled original sound is, for lack of a better word, patheticish.......

                        those dog bones are cool. I'd trim that straight piece down a bit but that's just me.

                                130 I think right now, I have tried a bunch of combos and they work good so far
