Ok, so I'm easily obsessed    I saw that one guy named his bike 'insomnia.'  I'd use it but it's already taken.  I think can understand though.  

Thanks to all for the comments.

I did get out for a decent shakedown run today, maybe 20 miles total.  Here's a short clip from today.  That's Smokin blue driving.

Sandman , This is simple , It's Phuckin Bad As$ , Well Done !

Thanks again for watching and all the comments.  The final push to shakedown has been helped a bit by retirement at the end of March.  

I can't answer the question about what it would take for me to hand over the keys.  I'm afraid the wife would see it.  She not a big fan of bikes and if she knows it's for sale at some price it would be a problem for me  

Speedometer today.  No good routing for mechanical cable so I went electronic.

All picture links have been restored.

The last welds on the bike.  At least they better be.  I will get a cap that matches the gas caps to finish off the 'oil tank'.  The bike is stripped down and out for powder coating.  Tanks, wheels and fender remain  aluminum.  Bars and foot controls will be coated to look something similar to the aluminum and rest will be red with a hint of brown in a nod to the old Indian bike color.

 I ,REALLY like the color you picked ! it should make for a great looking bike ,can't wait to see it back together!
