I really couldn't think of a reason why this picture shouldn't be posted again....

Good call :)

Looking great, Tim.

I spent two full days on it since that pic.... Got the valves adjusted, rear sets/linkages hooked up, painted the perches/switch bodies, started wiring, cleaned up/installed brake lines, installed new chain, started on exhaust system.... Trying to get it done. ;)

It's not exactly "sleek" ... but neither am I. Nice part -- you can see where the BMW hardcases can be mounted, so I have a cafe tourer... or an "executive cafe" as one of our brethren dubbed it.

Must not look on craigslist for small motorcycle...

Resistance is futile.......

For me anyhow - let's see - a TSS 125 - an R90S..........makes me almost glad the riding season is coming to an end.....almost
