I made one from three, painted it flat black and road it for 1500 miles that year.

That winter I pulled it apart to a certain degree and redid seals, rear shock, Seb rebuilt the forks, bought new tires, braided brake lines

in 2011 I bought a used BMW R1200 GS to replace my 1100 and liked that bike so much the VF was relegated to a tent in the back yard where it sat until yesterday.

Now it is on the lift and I am going to restart the project.

Great!! But where do you find all that time Timmy? I'm impressed to see how much you are getting done these days. This being said, I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. Good luck! à

PS For the mechanically ignorant such as me, how the heck do you get an engine full of water???? :wacko:
