She will be only a weekend cruiser, but with gonads. This is the way she should have come from the factory. Thank you, EPA.
I truly appreciate all the help I've received here. What a wonderful resource you guys are. Now it's bleed the brakes, throw on the braces, aircleaner and hood, and see what happens. I can't wait.
