    Those are Works Performance Billet Trackers with ARS. I stripped off all the clearcoat and stickers and polished them.

      Some progress. Got the engine in today. Finished painting the GS1100 calipers that I'll be using. The 1150/1100 wheels I'll be using are stripped and ready for polish, paint, and new bearings. Sorry for the crappy pics.

        I tried to contact him to sign my tank. No luck. He lives in Idaho, I think, and works as a nurse.

            Well that makes total sense. I'll have to try and meet him some day. Bruce how are you treating your nuts and bolts that aren't S/S?

              the engine has all new chrome bolts. Any other bolts on the frame, etc. that I am re-using are being polished.

                          Bruce you have to do a custom can on that Yosh. If someone up there can't do it send it to me and we'll have Jemco do it and use my S for mock up. You know you want a more up-swept look. Here are before and afters of same pipe you have.

                          See posts #16, 21. Also see #24 for not quite as aggressive look

                              Incredible work Bruce. Your bikes are works of art.

                              Looks like Mr Cooley is in Bend, OR

                                Yeah, I'll do something when I can afford to. It looks pretty low in that pic of yours. Did you have clearance issues?
