Hello All:

I have my new wiring harness connected up and all is working great!
kudos to gggGary and 650Skull.

I will be working on the engine and paint job next.
I can hardly wait to ride this 650 around town.

[MaxPete]

Nope - his avatar thing says that he's from Calgary Alberta - and they have hills there, for sure.

Hi Ron,
you sure about that distance? Holland Ontario is somewhat closer.
But never mind big hills, my Calgarian friend could see the Rockies' snowclad peaks from his upstairs window before some wanker built a house in the way.
And remember that what the Scotsman said:-
"Bairns and fools shouldnae see a boat half- built"
Also applies to motorcycles.
