For me Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. I may engage in religious activities, but at my core I am seeking to know Him more and to be like Him.

I liked the video, I thought it was well done. Thanks for putting in the time to make it I'm sure it wasn't easy along with doing the work too.
As far as the work end goes how long was it start to finish, I'm guessing about 4 hours.

Thanks for the kind words, I enjoyed doing the video. Starting from scratch, it would be longer than four hours because of removal of the fuel tank and the exhaust system. I would say that would add about another hour and a half to probably a four hour job. Some of the more handy guys and gals here could probably pull it off in about four, but I couldn't.

Great videos, keep them up!
For what it's worth, I witnessed Misfit do a shiny demog on my bike in right around an hour. But he's kinda a freak of nature with that stuff.

I'm assuming it wasn't his first time...

Anyone know if having a MCcruise cruise control installed makes anything more difficult for a desmog?

Take one of the nipple adapters to Ace Hardware. Buy a metric bolt and brass washer for each nipple. I have 3 of these with no problems in several years. I keep the nipple adapters in a ziplock bag under the seat for carb syncing.
