No offense, Chris, but prying that Fender out of his hands is kinda like getting you to ride a Suzuki

I was riding a 125 enduro by age 6 and started racing a 125 YZ at 8...lol. YEP!!! BORN TO RIDE!!!!

Oh I wasn't suggesting "replacing" the strat...lol But a hand made guitar from UNCLE CHRIS....OH yea...He'd be THRILLED!!! We're very close.

Nothing wrong with a Suzuki (unless you're one of those HD fanatics :mrgreen:)

I rode a 1976 Suzuki GT 750 "Water Buffalo" waay back in the day - who remembers those?

Yes I thinks so, look liked the Moto Guzzy some and only came in black?

1976 was my "on any sunday time" I still have my 1988 CR and go out a bit, and a old 1983 honda 50 mini trail.. ;)

Had to sell my running 83' 250 Macio spider after the big D..

Did that Buffalo have that Ram Air scoop on top of the heads? I had a GT550.

Al,
Thanks for the info on using 1.126 card with 1.130 Designer upgrade. Please keep us advised on this setup. Thanks to Chris also.

Pic of a '76 - mine was red, black Bates bags, and a Windjammer Fairing. Traded it for a new '82 Interstate (man, I'm dating myself!)

Very Nice CNS...here's my 98 Suzuki Intruder 1400 last summer on a ride around the finger lakes in NY State.

This is a 1947 Indian that I was assembling and restoring for a client of mine last fall.
Fortunately he had already located most of the necessary parts I needed in advance.
It took me a month and a half of my spare time to finish it.
All the while I worked on it I could only wish it was mine. http://www.carvewright.com/forum/images/icons/icon11.gif

Ken,

That's GORGEOUS!! Is that a suicide shift? MAN, nice job on the restoration!!!

Edit: Never mind.....LOL...just looked at the second picture...Beautiful!!

[liquidguitars]

Wow! just fantasic.

Yep, Everything is backward. At time, this and a few other models were been used by the police dept's.
And most of the officers being right handed -- they wanted to keep their gun hand free if they needed hit.
Go Figure! http://www.carvewright.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif

Ken

That is a beautiful bike - what kind of shape was it in pre-resto?

Where do you find parts for a bike like that?

So long as we're in the process of resto's - take a look at the attached - my son's and my project thru his High-School days.

My old pan [ 49 ] pic off another pic , Thats why it's so bad .

[Kenm810]

cnsranch,

Very Nice!! Great Father and Son project
it looks like quality time well spent.


The owner of the Indian spent two years locating the parts and dropped them off in 4 duffel bags along with the frame.

That's the condition I receive a lot of the projects I work on.
I'm guessing because no one else want's to try.

Here's a project I used my machine to scan the parts and carve the missing ones.
It saved me weeks of time! 1889 and 1900 Barber Chairs a couple of the first with true oil pressure lift.
Photos Before and After a trip to my shop.
The plastic sheeting was to contain the horse hair and its dust that was used to pad the seats.
