You will probably want to raise that license plate before the rear tire eats it.
BTW, what are the manifolds and carbs from?
manifolds were modified stock ones..with radiator hose and hose clamps.
can't remember where carbs were from....we had to wait a few months to get our hands on them!
bit of an update of whats happened since the last post....
we got a letter from our friends at the DoT regarding the rego/licensing of our bike this week.
Our bike is registered under 'invitation motorcycle' which basically means it is over 25 yrs old.
This gives us some sort of concession with the licence fee. To keep this, apparently we need to be a financial member of a approved historic motorcycle club.
None of this we knew....so our options are to join a club (none of which we can do in the few days we have left to provide proof of membership).
So....the other option is let the time limit lapse and they rego/licensing of our bike changes to class 4...same as a normal bike...and along with that means we have to take our bike over the pits.
well FUCK. Since then, we have let the rego lapse and are going to deal with going over pits again when we are ready.
Now, for updates from today.
got a resistor wired up to stop the coils overheating.
got the front brake switch wired up.
also wired the kill switch in properly...we accidentally wired the kill to the brake light. which explains why our battery was constantly flat.
only pics this time are of some white paint lettering.
electrics are ALL done now.
things on the to do list.
- rebuild fuel petcock....theres a blockage somewhere.
- retune
- remake engine cover gaskets. some very slow oil leaks appearing.
- restore compliance plate for when we take it over pits
- rebuild front brake/drum/grease brake cam....really spongy front brake.
- restore and final paint to tank.
edit: just realised its been a few days over three years since we picked up this bike! its been long build...but definately worth it.
