Project not dead, far from it. Bit the bullet on listing the "Scrapple" project on CL, and it may go this weekend. If so, well, any and all procees will go into finishing The Mighty Jig. I bought a used Flasher relay on ebay recently, and that seems to have cured the intermittent electrical issues. Still I have a ways to go, including, yes, the carbs, stiffening up the replacement fairing I bought, sorting out brakes, replacing all of the bushings in the rear swingarm, a new shock, fork seals (have), new tires (stalking on ebay and Amazon, of all places), and getting a new seat cover. The stripped bar-end weights are still firmly in place and will need to be gone if i'm ever going to be able to put new grips on it.
In other news, I had finally gotten its long lost Pennsyltuckey title in a the mail and on 12/28/22, lest I have to pay any 2011 Virginia Property taxes, it now has a clear, clean and legal Virginia title.
Have a little faith, my brothers and sisters.
