Cool bike -- but that's one nasty spider on the seat!

My five year old boy put that there. I almost napalmed the bike till I realized it was plastic.

Update for some new pics. I am pretty pleased with how the paintwork came out. I didn't attempt to get an absolute mirror out of the clearcoat as the last thing I can contemplate at this point is burning thru and having to lay more color and start over on a panel. Still got a little tweaking to do (discovered last night that I have two 5FJ15 needles and one 5EJ14), but getting close to a stopping point. Any suggestions on good places to get Mikuni brand carb jets and needles?

NICE! That bike looks to me like it's needing some Jim's stingers!!!

Cripes, you're only 46? I didn't realize you were just a kid.

Looks nice and should run pretty good w/ the 72 eng. I looks like the paint could use a couple of coats of clear or poss. wasn't best pic. Nice Bike that you have history with.

Thanks for the comments. I wasn't happy with the depth of the clear either and have since gone over it with three more coats of USC 2k clear. Just didn't snap any new pics.
