Hey Shoe, Its going well. The bikes ready for the most part, just have to button up a few final details. It’s running about as good as I can get it to run, but after about 900 mile we’ll see, I may take ya up on your tuning offer.

Look forward to hangin with ya at WTT.

Gonna post week 3&4 together tomorrow. Been a bunch of long nights in the garage, kinda felt like one long week.

Ive restored several different motorcycles,A Yamaha Maxim 700 shaft drive,(an excellent bike)a few other various street and off road bikes,with my last project being a Honda Elsinore CR 125 Ive noticed that,and Im not sure how far along you are,but theres a lot of improvements to be made by just taking things apart,and buffing/polishing and clear laquer spraying,where applicable,for a clean resto,dont be afraid to strip it down,and make it look new again,thanks for your story,and happy restoring!!
