    Thanks for a great first post Stan leiter! Really like the air filter cover and the Harley tank paint. Is that a sticker/decal of some kind or did you paint all of that? Nice build from bits and recycles!! Thanks for sharing. ~PJ

    Same here my friend...first bike was a 72 CB350. Nice job on the compressor....to bad you didn't have 2 Vtwin compressor head! I'd bet you could take an old iron barreled sportster and make one.
