Anyone in the GR area do sandblasting or have a sandblaster? I just need a couple exhaust headers blasted.

Nice CL! I've got a similar one that is currently being worked on. I can't wait for it to warm up. Should be a great season!

Just got my bike done and running! More changes planned for down the line, but for now it's fun time!

Nice! Lots of original touches...I like it

Soooo... 23 members in the local GR area and so cafe/vintage clubs to be found? Last I checked it only took two people for something to be considered a club (or maybe I'm confusing that with a conspiracy... meh, same thing).

From the evening ride.

I like the Michigan map glued to the tank. Old-school GPS.

Don't forget to drag that bike down to the vintage bike show in a couple of weeks at Gilmore.

 

[JonathonQuill]

Thanks. I'm late to read your post, but I will look into making it that way if another bike show is coming up soon.

Any other deets you want to share: I work downtown GR and ride in when I can. Being on the lakeshore I love to cruse down to South Haven or up to Grand Haven evenings or weekends. I don't have many riding buddies and would be interested in finding other like minded classic motorcycle fans.
