both bikes look fantastic. Is that an off the shelf muffler on the first one or custom made?

I’ve received quite a few questions regarding that muffler. It comes in 2 designs and the craftsmanship is really high quality. Full stainless off the shelf.

And yet another build from a few years back.
I take my time. This is therapy that helps me escape the daily grind of work.
Most of my projects I turn around and sell and then begin another.
Everything has to be perfect or have sleepless nights .

They all look easy to sell, but many of us have MBS and cannot do it.

I'm getting my 82 ready to sell..pulled the belt covers and valve covers and polished them. Waiting on weather stripping for the saddle bags, a fresh mvi and she will be on the market.

Hey, Made2care! Congratulations on BOTM. I really like the look of your 1200, and those 1100s are also real lookers that show attention to detail.

Excellent work M2. What paint did you use on the 1200 engine?

Loving the monoshock (duoshock?) conversion - I am guessing that is why it was so uncomfortable. Very difficult to get the spring rate and geometry right.

Looks very very good. I'm curious about the seat and the exhaust. Can you link the source of them?
