Keep on chuggin' away, Swag muh man.
I know what you mean about keeping barely above water - I think I'm using a snorkel these days LOL.
I've been "shamed" into doing some work on my XV as well - the project has gone on longer than yours...
Maybe all of us working on any XV - shaft, chain, 750, 920, cafe, street tracker, race bike, chopper, whatever - should set a date this year and start a thread where we each submit 3 photos of our project - completed, in work, barely started - and call it the "XV challenge".
IMHO, June 30 works but what say you all?
