1980 project.

WOW :woohoo:

Rich, Cool! Different! Patience is a virtue! "METICULOUS"!
Rich, hurry up and get it all finished up before the New Year!
So I can nominate it for "Bike of the Century"

This is a beautiful bike with a lot of attention to detail. I see some Revival parts. I am also using some of their stuff.

Thanks Very much guys , I put the cap on the tank today , The bike is in Memphis and tank here with me in Atlanta so it will be a little while before they are reunited. .

Rich, I just started to follow your build. I started from the first post to the current, wish I could have seen all the pictures. I my self have been doing a build for some time. My thread is Tribute Bike. glad you decided to keep going, it will definitely be worth it. What a beautiful paint job.

Thanks for the Kind words OldSchoolkz1000 , I've been following your build as well , can't wait to see the finished result looks amazing and That is a monster engine , You have made some serious progress . There were times were I wasn't sure if I'd finish my project , But Thanks to the kind words of encouragement I pushed through . I'll be watching yours closely .

That is a gorgeous bike and amazing paint. Your attention to meticulous detail is amazing Rich! Although there are many awesome examples on the site, this would be my vote for bike of the year.

I'm not sure if you plan to continue to run the velocity stacks on the carbs (haven't read your entire build) Dirt is not good for moving parts. Daveo posted a pic a while back with velocity stacks being used with his air box. Going from memory here, but he cut out the interior divider section , and inserted the stacks from the inside through some sort of grommet. Then added a filter to the top of the box to keep dirt from being sucked into the engine.

Good god, I'm glad you are getting close to finishing this! So much wow here. I want to see this thing in person. I will bring mine out to do a flag run if you're down to come out and roll with us. This has got to be one of the sexiest KZZZZZ 's I've ever had the good fortune to witness being built.

This bike....needs to be bike of the decade here at kzr and I hope to see it up in short order...ahem, Mods.

Would be awesome to do a run Saxjonz , hopfully soon.
OLD Kaw , I would like to use those velocity stacks but probably going to switch back to my APE pods. Currently I have put filters on the screens of the velocity stacks but I don't think they will tune well with the filters, as well as velocity stack performance.

The bike and tank are finally one again

Wow.
