    No its a friend who has been working with them. He just got a aluminium fab tank for 1 of his 86s.

    Its all on facebook
    Selling like hot cakes, so much moves through FB unlike Ebay and taking a chunk. Shit that pops up is like nothing you will ever find on a forum. The old way is slow for a seller.
    I make money very easy by surfing groups.

    It a Up-tite or HP (same) pipe i think. I took the rest of the paint off and a good hard scuff with scotch brite.
    I gave it a few coats with VHT satin clear header paint. Its the only part that got a non stock look.

    I even had a really nice rear brake cable with good plastic like my front hose.

    The bike looks brand new. Awesome.
    I'm surprised you went with stocker pegs. The details make it POP.

    :D

    It will not look like a personal favorite rider yet, still try to go all stock to finish it.
    Once i get it done and see what is next, who knows first little ride will motivate the next plan
    Sure it needs pegs, forks, real front brake, bars and bark busters, W/P cage and a skid plate...

    Working my way through winter, here and there i am poking away on the 500.
    All about some mods for a better rider now.
    Foot pegs done.
    Rad guards and silicone hoses.
    Been working on the front brake last few days.
    Hose and bleed it out with a modern master cylinder.
    Customized the mount bracket to bolt on to stock forks.
