Well I'm in deep now, https://www.dimecitycycles.com/14-33-inch-ohlins-s36p-eye-to-clevis-gas-charged-rear-motorcycle-shock-absorbers.html .I just committed not quiet sure when they will land in country but the final part to the suspension puzzle is soon do be in place.
While I wait it will be steering stops and damper mounting points then she should handle better than new.
I'm 3 days from being home already getting pretty excited, new motor just needs the cams in and hopefully history will be made with the first firing of the engine since the build began here 16 April 2017. Over this time there has been an organic evolution through a hell of a lot of trial an error (perhaps more of the latter). Gallons of fiberglass resin, weeks of sanding, painting, repainting and sanding again. Plenty of hours Old Man Murphy fabrication and shed time, with more to come.
I don't see the bike being finished this break but I am hoping for a rolling starter. See how my brother goes with the reworked decals who knows may even get the tank sorted out.
I'm not sure if the seal kit contains the seals for the petcock, its been sitting in my tool box for a few months now and I'm unsure if the rubbers would have perished by now (I'll add these to the list of parts to source if they're not in my kit.
I'm hoping the ultra sonic clear brings the carbs up to their original luster before putting them on. what does everyone here put in as a solution for cleaning the carbs in the ultrasonic cleaners. From what I read it cant be flammable. This kind of rules out traditional carb cleaner.
here's to the countdown to shed time hopefully in a few days I can start updating you all with some real time photos and videos
