I have other bikes. I might just have to ride down and buy you a beer for your not giving up. Mine is a re-do on a 77 with mono shock, and 1200 end, that has given me a fit concerning a fuel tank.
spent the last two years thinking about it,....MAY get worked on this winter. But finished?? Hard to say. But I except your wager

Just a short update.
I've been cleaning and sorting through the mess in the shop. Averaging about 15min per day.
Starting to make a difference.
Also managed to get some money put back.
I hope to get some essential parts ordered soon so that I wont have any excuses when I get the bike in the shop.
Until next time Ride often.
God bless those who protect our freedom, at every level

Back atcha!
Mine was good, except I had hoped to spend a few hours in the morning working on arranging my workspace. Instead, I was 'honey-do'd' for most of the day, lol!

First
I hope everyone had a merry Christmas.
I also hope everyone has a great 2018.

The update:
Time at work got long so cleanup time got short
The last couple days I've had a few extra minutes.
So I get to report a little progress gaining space. And I got to put down a newly free to me floor mat
