Been working for about 6 weeks when we have time. Thanks to all who have helped on the board! Still have some grinding to do on the frame welds where the seat was dropped. What do you think so far?

IMO, the tank is WAY too big and looks outta whack. maybe something smaller? I do like the bike.

In my opinion it's always nice to see something other than a sportster tank on these. (even though that's what I have and I like it.)

XSJohn, I see some sensitivity training is needed. 65 today is Dullaware. Went to Baltimore to get a stock seat for the 750 today so all is good.

xsjohn · Posted: December 28, 2008, 9:19 pm Post subject: Re: 650 progress

All in jest.....mine is plenty sensitive at my age..........and I will end up in stripes soon enough.....

was about 65 here today too.........I love Al Gore.....

Where did you get those whitewalls from? Any how much did you get them for? I've been looking all over for a pair.

What Happened to 650rider.com?
