The bike was unveiled for my sister Niccy at the last local Bike Night of the season - there were over 900 bikes there and ther GS created quite a stir.....

Niccy has now taken the bike home and I've started back into my FZ750 project.....new thread to follow :dance:

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hello everyone. first of all a big thanks to "Dan the Man". Some of you know me from the previous (2) boards and some don't, so here goes. I have been a fabricator/welder for over 40 years now. Damn that's a helluva long time to do anything! Anyways, I have built literaly 100's of street rods, pro streeters, racecars, bikes and trikes over the years. Never made the headlines and never will. I do what I do because it is the love of my life.
I enjoy reading the posts on the forum and try to contribute when I can. I am sure that this will be every bit as good as the CBH forum, as we will have most of the same folks. Good luck and post a lot of pics!! Jim

Just in case no-one noticed, I kept with the internal throttle but had to lose the internal clutch and go back to a stock lever set-up :doh:

We've put a few miles on the bike and the girder front and mono-shock rear ride really well and the whole deal has sweet and mild mannered handling.

The guys did a great job of rebuilding the engine and the paint is just as I wanted it. Overall very pleased and looking forward to getting the MazChopz posse together for ride outs real soon :dance:
