lack of plastic/funds (with plastic chrome door edging from Autozone)
,installed fuel filter, cleaned, lubed, tuned. I had it up to 65+ for a
minute or two on the freeway- NUTS. Still need to replace front brake
switch (rear works), CB350 shock mod, maybe a repaint if I can stop
riding it for that long ;-). All you guys/gals with stalled projects,
get out there and get to it-it's so worth it! Thanks again to everyone
here for your tips and support.
