Well guys...the RS is up and runnin...see photos....

This rides toally different than my S2 or 3.
Try one if ya get the chance!

Anyhow, Many Thx to all ya BWBs that helped and Thx to Tom @ EFB designs.

Tom provided me with parts,manuals and the build sheet on the bike..
It was started on 3/27/90, and finished on 3/30/90...3 days to build it..
Assembled by K.Gondon & D.Loung

It was shipped to Mount Vernon / Illinois Hd.

I have also contacted them, but there records dont go back that far they siad...

Anyhow, they are providing me with a new dip dot{one on bike was pretty tired}, as well as a dealer sticker...
I was fairly impressed.

I assembled it using the original patina and it actually came up pretty good for its age.

Now just a few little details and its "Good ta Go!"

Hank, great job man!!!!!

Looks great and bet it rides like a dream.

I did not see your name on the Homecoming list, are you going to be able to make it?

If not will you be going to Sturgis this year? I would like to shake your hand and buy you a cold one....

They dropped Buell a long time back, then sold the dealership and moved to NC. The current owners are very Buell friendly, but I bet they have 0 knowledge of the dealership 10 years ago let alone 18.
