Thanks again for all the help with this bike over the last year. Here's a before and after shot of it. The before is actually from 1993 when I got the bike. It's been running since a few months after that, but I finally decided it needed a total makeover! I've started working on a website to document the entire process, but it's far from complete. Just did the first long ride on Saturday (150 miles) with no problems other than an exhaust nut coming loose.
