    Just arrived today from super nice previous owner in Wisconsin. 34,730 miles. Recent service work by shop via seller (details coming in the mail, but includes carb work, of course). Starts right up, runs smoothly, and is as quick as ever!

    I will be doing a little cosmetic work on her but mostly I'm good with what I have.

    My first Yoshi exhaust!

    Thank you!

    I need to get back on my fuel tank/Evaporust project now!

    I also brought a kitty cat home tonight that had been hanging out on my Mom's back deck for the past month.

    Been a little while since I heard the pitter patter of a fur baby in the house. This one's super affectionate and just needed a human. Mom went into assisted living a year ago so I had to do something. So far so good!

    Curious... the sticker on it says made in Marysville? I thought they only made GWs and Valkyries...

    No worries. I wish I could see some photos of these being made at that plant. There must be some somewhere!

    Pretty cool though, huh?

    Pretty damn nice VFR there, Baz, Bet it sounds pretty sweet. Front brake lever seems to have a "custom" bend...

    What's up with the fasteners on the lowers?

    Good on ya with the kitty.

    Thanks guys. So far so good with the new kitty.

    Capt - yeah I'm going to change out that lever. Didn't notice it until she arrived yesterday. Also, I have a video clip of her running I will post later. She does sound sweet. I think I prefer my Kerkers though over the Yoshi. Fairing fasteners not all correct but easily correctable.

    Got some work done on my fuel tanks just now and will post in the other thread....
