Yeah Bob, it's lookin' REALLY nice!!! (...and just think, even AFTER all the consulting fees you'll owe us, you'll STILL probably end up owning at least 85% of that beauty there TOO!!!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Good job. Shoulda kept the old color though.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Looks great nice to see what you've been doing after seeing so many questions. It looks like it paid off. Maybe you have already said, but what happened to it originally? That was really smashed. ~Brent

The fender expolded,as well as the wheel folded clear up and busted the forks off clean,and the lower covers then it flipped up in the air and landed on the fender and tank,while banging the sides of the tank in. The part i can't understand.....when the rider hit, what ever it was. The tank was smashed completslyin; 1/2 the way up to the gas cap We haven't figured out. if the poor rider had any of his privates left!!Amazeing how things get damaged. 
I have been working on the bike about two months now.

Don't forget to put some handlebars on it before you take off down the road. It REALLY helps........ don't ask how I know.... :-)
