My old 1000SP project returns
Chuck in Indiana:
That scan of the crankcase is amazing. Modern tech can do some wonderful things.. :thumb:

Speaking of marbles.. :smiley: I once had a 1000SP out in California that had electrical issues. (Imagine that..) It needed a new harness, but I didn't have time to do that on my infrequent vacations, so sold it to Eldo Jon with the warning that it needed electrical work. The last I knew of it, it had moved to Arizona.
Years pass.
Pete and I rode to the Oregon nationals, and I set up my tent. Went to register, and when I came back there was an old 1000SP right beside my tent with it's tail in the air and somebody working on it. Thought, "funny.. that is the same color as my old SP." It was Greg Fields working on it, and it was my old SP. :smiley: (!) A guy from Italy had bought it and left it at Moto International to use for vacations..
