Ditto, including taking an hour to get through the thread. I know this, because I was done mowing grass shortly after 2 oclock, when I sat down and pulled up TWFIX.

Very glad you got it back together and it's running great.

Not me, 10 minutes...auto scroll ftw! I'm glad that you are happy and I sincerely hope that you don't end up regretting it. You're a stubborn man Jared, but I can honestly appreciate someone who holds out for what he wants. Btw when you talk about the rebuild costing $1100, I imagine that you aren't figuring in the possibly hundreds of man hours you have in this bike now...

I hope that you keep it on two wheels from now on buddy, we're supposed to go riding this Summer!

That's insane. Really fcking insane. I'm happy for you man. It's cool you that were able to keep some of the original engine. Also, nice pics and story/explanations. I had fun following along.

I didn't look at the time before I started scrolling through, but I'm sure it took me about an hour as well.
