I'm slow - no doubt. Lots of other things occupying my time and no space to work on the bike. Up till Sunday the frame was in the dining room, wheels etc. in my basement (finished), engine out in the garage, tank and seat in a closet.
I could've done this work months ago, but it was too damn cold out to bother with. Now that I can spend some time in the garage, it was time to get the bike on wheels and parked so I can wheel it out and work on it.
Should be done by summer - with some concerted effort. Aside from bolting things on, the following need to be sorted out:
-Rear wheel spacing is off - wheel is not centered in the swingarm oddly enough. Might need custom spacers made.
-Front wheel spacing - needs spacers made up
-Dust caps on swingarm bushings - even though these are new from Mikesxs, they're too small for the bronze bushings
-Electrical - entire bike needs to be wired up custom front to back - not using stock wiring harness at all. Need controls for the starter/kill on the right bar and signals/horn on the left bar.
-Lighting - need to sort out brake/signal lights and locations. Headlight is sorted out.
Then just need to tune the 36mm Mikuni roundslide carbs/Boyer ignition.
Oh and it will then need to be safetied, which should prove interesting
