hey foxx...  hey us... :-)
 was a long way until the 360 ​​ran clean and all were found in kids diseases in it, but now it rocks with a big smile in my face. But at the first test ride with the 500, the smile was even bigger under the helmet  :-D :-D my last short 500 ride was 11 years ago on a friends bike.

i found the graphics on ebay and I think that will look better on the '83 than on the '89.  8-)

very nice work..

takes alot of skill to Torch weld a frame together and not dork up all the heat treat....          amazing how many guys cant torch weld anymore.

hell. the welders at work couldnt do it.      I had to step in and do it for them occasionaly...      then again. they sucked at TIG also.

they were great at welding fence's together with a stick though...  :roll:                but anything that counted... they were bad.   5mph welds at best

funny story of the welders  :-D... too many guys can work better with the mouth as the hands. :evil:

the welder for my bikes is my father. work experience with more than 30 years. in the late 70s and early 80s he changed cz-frames for more stability with the 380s engine and longer rear wheel travel.
