But this time make sure the new owner promises to take better care of it. LOL.

Haha! I hope they do. My buddy pays for everything, so I can't say much, but he could certainly take better care of things.

Have I mentioned I do not care for header wrap before?

Even wet this one wasn’t that much fun.

Made the little strap out of parts left over from the gauge…now I know it will work, I will get a longer top bolt and flip the nut to the backside.

Been working a little on getting the new gauge wired up….so far, everything seems to work. Happy the fuel gauge works, we shall see how the rest of it works.

Thanks! She is certainly a work in progress, much like all of them in my shed. :-D

Got a little bit done on this girl…new LED headlight with new chrome ring mounted. Also got the signals working with a new flasher unit. Also got the rear fender mounted, and tail light mocked up. The 4 into 1 pipe is pretty darn quiet.

That seat is off of a Triumph Speed triple...it still needs to get cut up to fit the tank junction.
