    Yul Brynner had a Husky??

    hunh.

    I gotta confess I did not notice the thread title had changed; in fact, I didn't even realize you could edit a thread title- nice.

    # 2 cylinder should be at powerseal today.

    I think it should be good to go.

    Too bad I put few hours in first one to find out it is no good.

    We getting there.

    Think going to see what these 78 tank decals look like on tank before I stick the long 79 ones on.

    Maybe the long one is the ticket but I want to see another option before the final stick down.

    Btw! Poncho Husky Villa! Glad you moving forward on your bike. That orange is gonna pop!
