Ya dude, I might be down for sure. I might have to take some photos for a client on Sunday, what time are you thinking? I could maybe do a late afternoon on Sunday or afternoon on Saturday. Might ride down to the Loser Machine sale tomorrow morning. Let me know man.

Mornings are a little better this weekend...Afternoon might be cool though, give me some time to wrench on the new bike a little. Let me know when we get closer to the weekend.

It's been awhile. Any progress SeaBass?

Thanks for asking, sorry I have been out for a while, been looking for work and funds ran a bit dry, put on a different tank, but that's about it. Hoping to get a job soon and then have abit more funds. Ain;t that they way it always goes, you got the time but no money or you got the money and no time.

Looks good, man. I have a 92. The tank swap makes yours look A LOT like mine now. I'm still running stock bars, unfortunately, but am having Rene at Mercury Moto fix me up some customs as soon as possible.

That's a good looking bike. Retains that stock look, but enough nice touches to make it subtle.

Looks good man, new seat and air cleaner would do a lot for it.

I love the artwork on the Sporty tanks of the late 80's and early 90's. I predict that running good quality stock Sporty tanks with original paint will be the next "thing" on custom bike builds.

They just look classy, even more so on a bike that is far from stock.

Really dig this thread. So detailed on how to do some good dimple mods to touch up your ride! Looks great man, good work.
