I like metal.
Cutting a pair of stock HD bars to make them into what I want.
Threw the seat together. Used the old butchered up seat cover just to be finished for now...are we ever finished? though this is about the end of making it what I want it to look like. Might go back to the spokes.
11" shocks, lucas style taillight, early weighted bars, trimmed seat, 18/32 gearing, voltmeter, relocated key switch, 8-1 compression, 2 over bore, red rear turn lenses, shortened turn signal stems, early style replacement exhaust system, 36 mm xs750 forks, Standard tank, all on an '83 Special.

Well started the 3 hour drive to see GGGARY at 10am... got about 50 miles out and roads were getting pretty bad. Stopped for lunch and found out the highway was closed 6 miles up the road. We had it all, rain, snow, sleet.... just no sun.. I guess we'll have to try again in a couple of weeks.... I just want to get the parts I need to finish moch up!!!!!! Oh well, all in all, it was nice to get out of the house and take a drive.. See you soon Gary!!!
