Hows the bike coming along Jay? Did you ever get that seat re-covered?

I'm leaving the seat like it is this year. I've got $5,300. in it now. If I keep spending money like this I'll have to start working LOL.

 

[jbcruisin]

It's coming along slow but sure.

Exhaust is on. Chain guard next. I'm waiting (1 1/2 years) for the tank. He said it would be done the end of April.....

Bike is looking great Jay

I finally got it running. It started nice & seems to run strong. The cam has .193 lift. I still didn't get the tank back so I stuck a new edition tank on for now.

Good looking, clean machine!

That is sweet! You've done some nice work - always did like that long, slow curve they gave the exhaust on those.
I'll bet that will be a joy to ride.

Jay do you have another vintage build started?

Jay do you have another vintage build started?

No unless I stumble upon a vintage bike. I'm planning on just riding them for awhile. It's cheaper to buy a restored one than do it yourself. Just the chrome on the Pacemaker cost me over $1000. Paint job was $1200.

 

[racie35]

I hear you on that...finding one is usually the way

 

[jbcruisin]

I finally got the tank. He did do a good job painting it.
