Hey Swiwi... I would love to have that disk explained in terms of what is symbolizes. But without even knowing... I want one. That almost makes having that otherwise unappealing chunk of plastic worth having there!
Live to love, love to live.

Chucky, I'm in northeast Dutchess county in a small town called Stanfordville. You're more than welcome to drop in anytime. I'll pm you my phone & address. I just spoke to Tigman a few minutes ago. He's should be finishing it up this afternoon. I'll have more pics later & Wednesday or Thursday I'll be off to bring her home.

I'm tentatively pickin' her up Wednesday.  Sounds like a sure cure for cabin fever to me! Also, those are not the same disc's shown earlier. There ended up being a fitment issue so I went with these.

That bike visit day sounds awesome. I'd like to show up for that too but that would be a long trip. Sounds like an awesome mini rally.
What do ya mean. I'm coming over from Aus 
Seriously though, I'm really impressed Thommo and have enjoyed every pic you've posted and your explanations. I've also got no doubt I'm going to appreciate seeing your finished project in all her glory.
Congrats on the fine work done up till now and have no doubt your finished build will something else.

ps: which lottery did you win 
Staintune Pipes, K&N Pods, 45 pilots, TBS needles and 145 mains.

Great, and I mean GREAT work on that bike o' yours.
But Mr. Thomas, just as a side issue (nothing serious you understand) I was kinda wondering if when you're posting a batch of pics, you'd consider placing them all under one post. Would make it easier to navigate through the thread 'tis all. I finding it just a tad unwieldy and I don't want to miss anything.
Thank you sir... and again, fantastic build ya got going there.
Live to love, love to live.

Keith, try viewing the thread in "Flat mode" rather than "Threaded mode."
