[QUOTE="backlander, post: 181722, member: 2035"] First, I'm cool with the comments about the welds on the neck because we did not cut the tubes at the neck. The tubes were cut about three inches down towards the radiator and the upper tubes were cut about four inches towards rear of bike right about where the upriright brace is at the rear of the coils. There was a small amount of welding on the upper tubes at the neck to fill in a gap left by the factory, a picture of which I will show shortly that also appears on an 85 model I have. I know that everyone is just concerned for my safety as well as I appreciate that and take constructive criticism in that manner as long as it's given that way. You can't have any better friends than those looking out for you and not afraid to bring you back on the right path the right way. I thank you all for that and I assure the welds are solid. Here are pictures of the same area of two 85 models I have that are completely different looking welds showing you never know what you will get from Honda. The first picture shows the gap my welder filled in on the neck because the 84 looked similar to that. I can't wait to get it together and ride it. Eric have you kicked you front end out yet ?[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1996.JPG"]14278._xfImport[/ATTACH]. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_1994.JPG"]14279._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
