Haven't done much to the bike other than ride it. A new headlight and bucket is on the way and I'm looking for a set of chambers that match the patina. Need to get the awesome tank panned so I can install it.

Agreed. I have put about 350 miles on it so far this season. It's my primary form of transportation.

DT400 spotted while riding around. Had a nice chat with the owner.

Finally started ordering parts for the old girl. there is a gremlin somewhere in the ignition that fries my coils, and rather than fix the ancient wiring I plan on getting a Power Dynamo ignition to be done with ignition garbage forever. also going to fix a set of Pypeline chambers and rebuild the front forks with new tubes, springs and a set of emulators.

also retrofitting a XS750 stock seat and taillight, then a chop on the stock fender.
