I started off with a fairly clean bike with the intentions of being my first twin shock race bike since my youth. With the spare time on my hands I've been able to make some progress and hopefully have a complete bike in 2 ish....weeks haha

Damn I need to get a vapor blaster. Those parts came out great. I resort to pressure washing the grime off and either wire wheel everything or good old fashion hand work.

It definitely spoils you on builds. Haha. I still use wire wheels and scotch bright wheels for different finishes as well.

Mbp, do you plan on painting the tank ? The raw aluminum looks pretty good to be honest. Oh, the 370 will always remind me of The Man.

I am actually going to put a clear coat on the tank. I really like the look of the raw aluminum tank on this. The Man is the reason I own a 370. Haha

One of the most intimidating bikes I ever rode. I was only 14 coming off a CR 125. But man, WHAAAT A RUUSH!
