I’d put the odds of it being Magnesium at the same as someone winning the lottery...

More work today. And this is probably it until the spring when I can try to test fire it. All that was left today was to get the fairings on. A bunch of hardware was missing with the bike when I got it especially all the washers to mount the fairing. I ended up making my own from titanium. What else was I supposed to do?

I've been sitting here looking at the bike for the last 20 minutes. It's just... Cool I guess. I can't wait to hear it.

You're starting to remind me of a leaner, meaner and more seasoned version of the kool-aid man laughingdp

Like, if there was an R rated version of the kool-aid man Cheesy

I didn't know you made a thread for it..

I really did not want to sell it, had a bunch of offers over the years, but I knew you were the right one.

I just never found the time to focus on it...    I picked it up and barely touched it.

So glad you'll be riding soon.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I appreciate that. I can certainly understand wanting things to go to a good home.  I've coveted the FE for probably more than 15 years.

I'm over the moon to actually have one in my garage.
