        I have a GK that I have been working on for a little over a year. Originally, I paid $800 for it. Have it registered & am riding it with a smile (most of the time). It is looking & running good! I figure that I am about half done with it.
        A few times in the last year I had to remind myself of the advice I drove into my sons as they were growing up. It goes, "Know that anything you set your sights on will take twice as long, be twice as expensive as you thought, & will be half as satisfying as you expected, when you attain it. So, be careful about what you choose to go after. Then, once you do decide, go & do it! Do not just try. Do it!"
        That guidance has served them & me well.
        Boy, do I love my GS!

              i have lots to do,but its cheaper than other bikes I have owned. IMG_20130915_174829.jpg (49.2 KB)

              I may have 2k in it when i am done.So...I spent 425 a month for 2 years driving a pos ultra classic.I would have to sandcast a gs engine before i even approached that kind of expense.

                              I tried that in my post where I said I dont know if this worked.It didnt. I dont want to waste forum space, so i will try to get it down to finished pictures.I have followed builds here for years with as many as 50 pages of pictures. I suppose I wont be wasting too much space compared to that, but still, I would rather have several views on one page.I am about to get several items in the mail and can hardly wait to install them.I still punch a timeclock so money is not ample enough to make a rapid transformation.
