Kinda hard to see how bad the bike was before but she was definitely rough around the edges. A blind man would be happy to see her.

Noob!
I've always liked these bikes (had the smaller 599 for a while), you've definitely made this bike look great, and I'll bet the upgrades make it perform nicely.

Dogs best friend
That was a fun thread to watch.
Nice job. Congrats on a one-of-a-kind-head-turner.
That bike was most certainly headed to the scrap bin to be parted out or worse.
I'm happy to see a bike brought back from the dead and ending up cooler than when it was new.
You can't buy character but you sure as hell can build it.

I love reading up on this progress threads and to see where it comes. Is it inappropriate to ask how much you have into this? Including the price of the bike? This looks like such a fun hooning/commuter now, what kind of mpg do you expect out of this?
