No not my wife, the 86. Over the last several weeks I finally replaced the clutch and brake lines, installed RPM oil cooler, replaced the NFG tachometer (huge thanks to moparman Steve), oil and pugs of course and installed Penski shock ahhhhh. Put 50 miles of Canyon with a little freeway mixed in today. Nothing fell off or leaked! Feels good  :good2:

get the mirrors if you want or you can just practice the shoulder twist.

  Sit on bike with center stand in place.  Move left shoulder back while moving right shoulder forward.  Look in Left mirror simultaneously.  Now reverse the order and look at Right Mirror.   Repeat for 10 reps.  Rest and repeat again.  Stop when wife come out into the garage and laughs while saying " what are you doing"

works for me..... its a lot of work but worth it to retain the original moosehead look.
