Will do guys..thanks for the positive comments. I hope it looks sharp. I should have the front forks polished and installed this weekend. I have about an hour or so to go on them.

I am also going to do some sandblasting on the seat hardware as well. I should have my body and flamed seat cover this week.

I am fixing to get started on my 83' r . I would be interested to see pictures of others projects for some ideas. I couldn't figure out how to view them from the board. Maybe you can email them to me at cprice@apollo.chapel1.com . I would also be interested in suppliers that you have dealt with that carry a good selection for 83 r's. Any help is appreciated ! I have a little bit of info if it might be useful for some others as well. I may interested in a reasonably priced 83 frame, the 83 r motor was mounted on on 82 frame so I have some parts left from the teardown if someone might need something from an 82.
