Why type it when you know its not true. Is really there really a final if you still own it?

rounder i also forgot the motor work!!!
doing cams, heads, bore, pushrods... the whole deal. we will see on taking it down to the frame. prob not this winter. maybe next. sometimes i just have to stop and be happy with what i got on it, my bob has been through about 4 makeovers... i want to do this as the final one. we will see, knowing me i will end up wiht the frame in the oven! All depends on what we need to do on the motor. Chad is helping me with that, THANK GOD, cause i would be lost! this will be his 3rd or 4th motor build!
have just about all the parts I need, (cams, push rods, pistons) just need to send my heads away in Jan and get some jugs...

ha ha ha i wish it was just a few hours... plus then stripping and blasting... looking at about 18 - 20 total hours in doing the frame (tear down, strip, blast, coat, clear, re assemble)
we will see
Ice you are right man... it never ends!

I really have nothing planned. I'm gonna pull the trigger on a J&S jack at some point this winter, but I really am satisfied with how my bike is set up right now.
EDIT: Oh, I did think of one little thing. I want to mount a Stebel air horn somewhere behind my fairing and remove the stock cowbell.

I voted other and here's why................
I have been kicking around the idea of buying a Maverick Grabber for a while and then wala...a friend gives me the one he had! I do have to finish the brackets for my bags but all I need there are four spacers and a little grinding. I need to wait for warmer temps before I paint the bags so I'm gonna play with a car again.
