It is a MAC and honestly I was not that happy with it. The finish was great, but the sound sucked. It was really "tinny" and it just sounded like crap. It was very high pitched and a twin in my opinion should have a really deep tone. I'm pretty sure the wall thickness of the pipe and muffler...

Two bikes in one month :o ! Thanks for the nods and sorry I'm just now responding - too much wrenching in the garage! Really wish I would have gotten a video of the CB before I sold it. Here is the GS550 in action. 1979 GS550 Cafe Racer Thanks again, Byrd

Very, very sorry for your families loss Rich. We'll be praying for you guys.

Hey guys - thanks for the compliments. The gold is tape. I purchased gold sheets and cut it to the shape I needed. The headlight was cut to accept the tach and then glassed in to clean it up. I made stainless brackets to hold it into position. Sorry but I do not have any better pictures...

The Green Room looked pretty cool, and I was bummed I missed it during the rumble this year. Maybe we can meet up there one night.

Re: Triangle DTTs Monthly Meetings (Raleigh) I think something on HW401 south would work pretty well. Grill 57 is a pretty central location and parking is abundant. Easy to find and 440/40 is very close. Kick Back Jacks next door serves alcohol and would work as well. Another good spot...

That Billy Joel interview was funny. Cracked me up when he was talking about signing stuff to get more money out of it - my kind of guy. Eddie - no love man, no love... Don't worry Scot I accept master card, visa, and amex if needed ;D.

Glad you made it home safe Scot - Had a blast with you guys as well. The guzzi was a great deal - you'll never know unless you try ;D I grew up in the neighborhood right beside the NC fairgrounds flea market. I sharpened my teeth haggling with people at the flea market with the money I made...

Eddie - I'll see you at the BP at around 10:30am. Eric

I'll send you the info.

Good idea man - i'll post it up

I'll have a booth out there - just mostly trying to sell some stuff left over from previous projects. Stop by and say hello.

Guys your generosity has blown me away... Marc - I've got yours soaking right now, and Maritime I should be all set just in cast anything else causes me a problem from the looks of the photos. Thanks again guys!
