Finally, Other than some more gold plating it's together, it's dialed in and it needs nothing more.

In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Originally a 1200, now 1345. 9 1/2:1 Wiseco's Stroker rods & wheels, Crane Fireball cam, Barnett clutch. It ain't a GS (at least not a 1000 or up), but will keep up with most modern Harleys. No front brake = Regulation chopper.

I got to ask this question. How could someone who loved & baught a "82" Katana off the showroom get connected with something like that. I understand there's people who like either of them, but don't see anything about a Katana that would catch the eye of someone riding something like that, nor can I see what a Katana nut would see in that bike. I don't have a problem with it, just wondering what or where the connection would be. Just sayin

When I was a kid I seen that bike in the showroom and my knees went weak. I hadda be the one out front, I was the one you didn't pass...Ever. That bike insured I was the fastest kid on the block, for many years. I bought it when I was twenty. In '96 when I was thirty-four and got my third DWI and a ten year loss of license. The bike went into the garage for ten years. In that time (actually that day, April 3rd, 1996) I quit drinking, got ten years older and calmed down somewhat. In '06 when I got my license back I rolled my old pal outta the garage and started riding again. Went to NH bike week like I had every year since '88. About a fifteen hundred mile week. By the time I got back, I felt like an old guy on a young guys bike. I always liked Harleys and they're even a part of the reason I started to ride in the first place. When I was little I'd see guys from my local outlaw MC rippin' down the road on loud bikes and thought "yeah, that's me someday"
But by the time I was old enough to ride speed was my first priority. When I was seventeen my first legally registered bike was an H-2.
I still like to wheelie, but I ain't gotta go a hundred and fifty no more.

Still got the mousetrap! Very nice, very nice indeed! A rigid Pan or Knuck is a thing of beauty. Use it daily in the good weather?

Yep. If I know I'm gonna have more than a hundred mile day, I'll take the '92. I ain't a kid no more.

I hear that. The ideals of youth give way to the comforts of age. Rigid arse end is one of the sweetest looking designs, but the old cheeks don't like the abuse.
Very clean scoot! Hats off.

Needed tank badges. I bought the ones correct for the year, gold plated em' and went to put them on....Shoulda measured the tank first. Anyhow, these are from my birth year, so I thought they'd be cool. Also plated the headlight ring & top tree pike bolts.
