Been fortunate enough to ride one of those, once at a demo day and once from a buddy.
Frightening and spectacular at the same time. |

Hadn't heard of the header paint/clear cote combo. Will be interested in seeing how holds up. VHT brand?
Please do report back when you get the bike back on the road. |

The header refresh has been discussed a few times. A bit of info in this thread.

That's slick.
How was threading that? Did you use inserts?

Nice to see you're still kicking, Jim. |

Great videos, Cat.
Some good tips and i also admire your methodical approach.
I know i would be easily distracted by all the lovely bikes in the background of some of the clips. |

That's disappointing to hear about Wolfe Worx.
I had heard he moved to Blenheim but didn't know the shop was going as well.
Glad you found somebody else you trust. There are so few of them around. |

Chris, you have a mechanic that will actually work on these old dinosaurs?
Are you still dealing with Terry at Wolfe? |
