Hi to all! Im new here and have been loving the work you guys have been doing. I am going to work on this here 650B I just picked up for a great price. First build since I wrecked my heavily modified 900 in 04. Wife made me swear not to ride again. Got divorced and must be hitting my mid-life crisis. I cant wait to get back on. Just got to get this bike running strong and looking good this year. Next winter will be the front end/rear swap, 750 motor and other goodies. Im going Mad Max this year. Hope this will be fun for someone, i know ill have fun!!!
