    My little resto

    Well, since I fired it up for the first time ever since mine I thought, what the heck. With all the other Skunks being restored I figured I might as well post up some pics of mine.

    Nothing has left my garage for work. I intend to do everything thats left to do as well.

    Some pics..

                    What's that "smokey" appearance in the 4th pic from the top? A GS ghost of the machine

                              Those pipes look fantastic! Had some doubts when I first saw them on E-bay, just really couldn't tell how good or bad they were. Looks like it worked out very well for you, so.............. was it worth it? I say YES!
                              The bike looks really great also, that buffer really got a work out.
                              You've definitely earned some braggin rights.
