Man that looks great, nice accent color to the R1. When I get a set of matching rubber I have to do that to the wife's vfr

Nothing to envy. My spotter, crazy Mexican named Eligio Castillo, tells me in an OP-FP we are stuck in, under observation, in full ghillie, till nitefall. "Hey, I gotta pee." Well hell, no real options here, so I say "go for it, piss". He says "OK.... I did" Now he's on the spotting scope on my right hip & now my Leg gets all warm & wet... and I have to go, so I did. A day later we meet up with our parent elemnet and a old , crusty SF Master SGT is talking to us and said " WTF STINKS?" My spotter says, "That's just us, we pee on each other." He responds "Typical Snipers, you guys are all sick bastards." Thanks, Lee, one of the high points of my military career.

Wow! sounds like me and my spotter at the 2000 state match at perry.

Love to make it, but not gonna be able to, damn it. Too much crap going on and my bolt is getting a knob on it anyway. The rig is on the useless side w/o it. As usual my timing sux. Oh, and the second pic is the M24 I got my hands on as a 19 yo kid a lifetime ago.

Wet Blanket Warning.... The bummer about the m82 is not ALL of them here all that accurate. I used some that were 3 MOA rifles. Those were quickly given to the EOD guys. The 50's were correctly classified as "anti-material" rifle. In plan speak, its made to break shit. The weight of a combat load for a sniper team was punishing, now add the m82/XM107 it's a real rough haul. If the mission is man killing, I'd rather stalk in the exta click with the 7.62 sick. Now the .338 Lapua rifles, got my attention. A 1 mile capible rig that is half the weight of the big 50's. But I'm out of it now and I'm old and slow. Still got my gear in the event of zombie attack. Damn... I miss my job.

Welcome, Petersburg here.

I beleive the Commander in Cheif is doing a fine job & should keep it up. Maybe people will see it for what it is. You need another Carter before you can have another Reagan. And this cat makes Carter look like a genius. De Oppesso Liber..

The wife and I made most of them all last season. this year we are both stuck working. It's the bigest bike nite in the Y-town area. Allways has been a great time.

I'm waiting till next week to start on the the young Private's Radian. She is in Basic in SC and I sent her pics of headlight options for her feedback. I hope to have it done by her graduation. (fingers crossed)

Buffalo Hollow Blitz - 2010 Lots of bands and events this thursday till saturday. This event has been a blast of us and we will be there again this weekend with the bikes. http://www.buffalohollow.net/buffalohollowblitz2010.php

I had a blast on this build. It's a bigger deal to me then most bikes because it's for my wife. She LOVES this bike. I have been a V4 fan since my 82 magna V45 and Im glad she found a home on this bike. I'm glad she let me go with the red-white-blue and old school gold honda wing. She had had it out and we are tuning the suspention in for her as we go. I got work tuesday nite then a week vacation. We will be at the Bufalo Hollow bike rally thursday with our bikes and a beat up, borrowed Winnebago. http://www.buffalohollow.net/buffalohollowblitz2010.php It's fun to be the Metric/Sport bike people at a harley dominated event.

This one's one... on to the next project...

May have more up later.

There is the outfit that has been making weapon system upgrades that I have used in my job & my previous job for years. Magpul Industries. They have gave me and my kind some cool toys... I guess the guys at Magpul are fans of bikes. They, like many of us were sick over what Harley Davidson INC did to Eric Buell. They took matters into their oun hands. 47 Magpul "RONIN's" will be built out of saved Rotac powered Buell 1125's.

As what normally happens, the fender came is as I was finishing the cracked up one! I will finish it up and swap them out but intill then will run the imperfect one. So basicly, here she is in the new paint, Suzuki front end, built bars & sliders, new seat cover & storage box behind it & CBR mirrors. Rides nice, suspention set up is a little soft for me, but Kris has to figure out how she wants it. Stopping power is just awesome & it feels like it's turning better. I will let the misses tell me after she put's some miles on it.

got off a 12 hour shift a bit ago. Home to have it done with pics up tonite or tomorrow am

More updates tomorrow. I hope to show the completed bike....

Well... kind of as long story, but in short, his reluctance to Kreem the tank to get rid of dirt n rust due to cost bit him in tail. Even with 2 fuel filters he dirtied up the carbs and had a float sticking. To top it off his "buddy" picked him and the bike up in a pick up. No straps of rope, SO they set it n its side. Fuel leaked out of tank, + month old paint and clear+ 2 dumb kids=fuel stains on the tank. They wont buff out. It will be back in the shop here shortly, but I wont paint tank again till he lets me clean it or we replace it entirely. I will help him with the carbs for now to keep him going. I will keep you updated

I'm gonna make this one work for now. When I get the new one I will prep and paint it. The better of the two well end up on the VFR. The other will go on the shelf for what ever project bike it will look cool on.

Damned post office. Fender did not show up Saturday. Enter Fiberglass & filler on the shattered one. I gotta finish this build.

The gap is filled with a tool bag, the bike's only storage. it's also where the tail bolts down to the subframe. If I change the seat color i will have to build a new one. If I recover the seat I may build something more rigid. What ever goes there has to come out when the seat is attached or removed, It needs to slide forward and lock into place, the race tail need to be a few inches back to make this happin. The space will have a bag/ or storage box covered in the same surface as the seat.

Got it sanded and polished today... Morrors out of paint and mounted... Kristin's (had to have) tank protector... WHY I NEED A FENDER... One again hope full of the fender showing up with the mail tomorrow. Now I am questioning if the seat should stay black.... I allways hated colored or white covered seats, But this bike has me thinking.

Thanks. I chose the 2 blues & red w gold pin and old school Honda Gold Wings to be like an old RC30... with some moderen style. [imgALT=http://www.bikevis.com/images/junk/garage/2.jpg][/imgALT] Yep, the old Radian is an up and comming job. Not as DRAMATIC mods planed, but I may get the bug once I dive in.

Im slowly getting there.. Back on the 12 hour midnite shifts later today, but happy with the look of the bike...

Here is the finished build so far. The turn indicator flair.. The Tail section (off) Tail (light on) More done tomorrow with any luck..
