Just kidding! I like it!!!!!!! Beautiful job.
Ha!
It's all I can do to get the old man to keep those filters on the bike. He want's to run trumpets but I'm just thinking of the longevity of the motor.... Velocity stacks would look good 'though.
Thanks to everyone for the positive comments, I really need to show my appreciation to Dad for the effort he's put in.

Just tell him it's not the 70's and a rebuild is a bit more than 50 bucks......... Use the stacks for display and piccies.......
Since it is so late in the riding season, I'd be tempted to put it in the living room until Spring. I would spend a whole lot of time looking it over with a glass of single malt in hand.
He's charging $95 for 72 hole drilling, not a bad price if you ask me. I drilled my own discs for my racer, 72 holes per disc.
Let's see, I probably spent $50 on drill bits, took 5 hours per disc to drill and countersink both sides...plus 4 trips to the chiropracter to get the kinks work out of my neck/back after all those repetative pulls on the drill press.
