Thank you all for your kind words. I want all of you to know that this bike exists because of KZR and its dedicated, kind and knowledgable members. I was a bit under the weather today due to a car accident but I will get you all video of the bike as well as take you for a ride. The bike goes on the Dyno Friday or saturday and I will post those numbers for you all as well. Again, thank you all.

Joe
The cities in AZ frown on grass due to water consumption. Crushed gravel is the excepted norm :pinch:

Very nice completed project! Lots of commonly available parts as well as tons of one-offs add that personal touch. You can never add up all the time and money as it is a very rewarding payback to have arrived at a bike like this.
Congratulations on a super re-build. Enjoy it.
