Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I suspect you will look back and blame all your enablers.

It's only money, you can't take it with you!
Plus, have you looked at new bike prices these days? Putting a few grand into something you love is way better than pumping $20k in a new Harley.:-?
New seat is fitted on bike
Time to upgrade the coils and fork springs... I would really like to keep black plug wires. Any suggestions before I double post?

Looks like you're making progress. On the grips, I'd go with stock look like the pro grips on page two of your link. If I wanted to "bling" it a bit, maybe the Ariete grips on page 1.
Okay here goes another would be car payment... I ordered the chrome bucket trim for the gauges. There were 5 left in the entire country (2 left ones and three right ones). I bought one left side and one right side, you do the math in terms of current availability. I also picked up another headlight bucket... Apparently I was sent the wrong one initially from another supplier. While I was at it I got everything except the H4 bulb (new trim, new everything) and new fork seals/dust boots.
But wait... I wasn't done zippering up my weener yet so I ordered new Dyna coils and 8mm silicone wires. Yikes.
Next week, it will be "final" assembly. My buddy has the side panels in Richmond (he is painting them). <-- Thank you Geoff.

What size sprockets did you go with?
I've got a 530 18 tooth I'm hoping I can use on mine.

I went with a 49 tooth rear and a 17 tooth front from the stock 15-41.
