Back Home






Well I guess it was an exciting weekend. At least I know that the SR runs, so now when someone asks "Does it run yet?" I can finally just say "Excuse me while I whip this out (women gasping)" and show the vid on my phone. And its a good thing that it barely shakes, yeah . . right. Everything shakes on it, handlebars, exhaust, seat, front wheel. Definitely have to re-tighten every fastener. And it's pretty loud. The exhaust is the stock head pipe and a Paughco cocktail shaker with a little baffle in it. And both were hit with the Scotchbrite before installing them. I think the other chrome stuff is going to get the same Scotchbrite treatment since the exhaust and the cap for the gas tank ended up looking good. Make the gas tank pic bigger and you'll see what I mean. That dull brushed looked is looking good next to the charcoal metallic. Anywho, just a few more little things to finish (even though it will probably take a day or two yet) and it should be ready for the 100 mile trip home.
