"Some pics..."
 
   Well I just picked up the bike from my local shop and it's running perfectly. The guy did an amazing job, he fixed a lot of stuff that was wrong. Things I didnt even know about. It sure did cost me an arm and a leg though but I dont care. I was enjoying every minute of the ride.

Anyways here are some pics I took today. I installed some bar-ends. Sorry the pics are so shitty, I used the camera on my phone.

   Looks good! Pipes don't look all rotted like many. Not bad for a camera phone either.

   Great looking bike Antonio! I'm happy for you. It's goddamned expensive to pay for the work, but until you know what's what, it's an exercise on frustration. For now, you ride.

Take care,
Alex

   Glad it's running. What was the problem? Are those handlebars comfortable. I've been through a couple of sets and all of them on my 350F really start to hurt my thumbs after about an hour. I guess I have a weird angle going on..or maybe my thumbs are weird (so much for evolution). Right now I have some "drag bars" installed. They're a little better but still are a bitch.

   Handlebars, Welcome to cafe racers. If you want comfort, hop in a car where you have A/C, music, and a cage.

Few problems. Tank was dirty, petcock wasnt working properly and the carbs needed to be rebuilt.

I love the clubman handle bars. They are comfortable for me. I just got back from a 6 hour ride and I have no pain in my back, arms are wrists.

   Damn, that's a beautiful bike. How fast have you gotten it up to on the roads?
