Previous owner is a Professor. Wood and metal craftsman. His shop and home is immaculate. I gotta quit bragging, but I just unloaded everything, and I made out like a bandit, but it was his asking price. Of course I did not even think about haggling. Guy is moving, home/shop up for sale, along with 2 of his bikes, (he has 4). Got all the receipts etc. Bike had re-call differential changed out in 06. Got the original pipes, and the off-road pipes, and the cat-delete! And a Power Master, K&N filters, on and on. I just ordered some more steel shelves, so I can sort everything out. Wheels still have original Metzlers, hardly worn! I'm not going to post anymore until I get it rolling, I feel like such a thief!

First step, frame painted. Gave it two coats of Oshpo, as it had some surface rust from sitting, after being sand blasted a few years ago. Let that dry for two says, then scuffed that a little and put on two coats of Eastwood's 2 part black gloss (2 cans). Ordered an Eastwood Tig200 machine, to do all the gas tank, rear fender brackets that will need to be fabricated. I know I'll have to grind some of the new paint off, here and there, but I want to get this thing rolling!
