Gotta at least run the EX today! Smile

Gmaan, that's Krylon wrinkle on the case covers... I just cleaned up what the PO had done. But the paint on the rest of the motor is preexisting. It's likely engine enamel.

Looks good, let me know how durable it is. I polised my cases, but I really like the black look.

Looking good, Gmaan! Your bars are from Mike's too, it appears... or at least they're exactly like mine. Smile

I had a few minutes yesterday, so I swapped the existing right grip for the new one. Now they match exactly. The new ones seem a tad longer, but with minor adjustments, it wasn't a problem.

Looking good man!! I spent a few minutes saturday night mounting the 750 tank to mine. Got the front mounts done, now I just need to make up a rear mount. Still debating how best to mount the racer tail section

Did you have to get shorter cables? I want to put clubmans on my 81 but afraid the cables will be too long. Any suggestions?
