Depends, I guess.

Josh, I've changing the title of the thread because it is too long to let people reply easily. There's a character limit and when the software automatically inserts "RE: " at the beginning, the title is too long.

No problem.

The answer is probably never... but the bike has 655 as we speak.

What's the story behind that Colorado license plate?

I was stationed in Colorado when I was a medic in the Army.

Did a rough cut on the back half of the right hand cyl head. Need to stop so I can do my Sun night house chores. That's ok because I need more sand paper. Long weekend of grinding.

The bright overhead lights are good for working- bad for pictures. This is going to be something to see in the daylight from a distance. But should tie in nicely with the valve cover and engine covers.

The polished valve cover is cool.
Probably won't do it to mine, but the fins are making me itch to get my sander.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a feeling after I am done, there will be others to do this as well. Out of all the things I am doing, the fins are by far the easiest. Nice, quick and simple.
