Everything will be fine.

Well there are no projects in the garage, all the quads are running right, everything is good. The KZ is in good hands....The Ducati has been dyno tuned, suspension re-valved... the Guzzi needs nothing but more miles on it...

Wait wait...... rebuild the dirtbike engine. Yeah yeah....
I have brain damage. :silly:

Got the tank back from the painter.
FLAWLESS!
This week I get the bike back. Having steering locks made so this doesn't happen again.
Also installing Jota handlebars.
Installed a 530 chain with stock gearing.
Hope to have it all together by next week end.
