These are a before and after photos. I bought this 89 three months ago. Thanks to Randy @RPM, Steve/srsupertrap, and Ebay for parts.

Looking good, did you also install new springs and valves for the front end upgrade?
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I have not done that yet. It will be done soon. Starting to do the none visual work now, Rebuild the forks, sync the carbs, I already did the RPM spin on oil filter mod.

Excellent progress.
Why in the hell would that bike have had the older wheels on it??
You are definitely moving the the right direction with her now!
Keep it up!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!
