    Would have been good to save them to sell on but my patience ran out as i want to get all the parts stripped and prepped for the rebuild.

    Just don't believe that when it is in the hands of the master. Your no show pony usually looks like my new bike. Well not quite they usually look beter.

    Jeez ..... there are people out there .... actually, you can probably include me in that cadre ..... that would take your "presentable" over "Yes, Sir, this is the new model ..... " :rolleyes:

    Credit goes where credit's due. Dude.
