No visual progress as of late. The bike is currently a unicycle in the garage.
I've dropped my fork yokes off at my local fab shop to have the stems pressed out and swapped over. I've also gave them the front wheel, after deciding I wasn't happy with the inner shoulder - it effectively made one of the bearings defunct as the inner race would end up spinning with the outer race. They're gonna machine off the shoulder to match the opposite side, I'll then pop the bearings back in with a new, longer spacer.
I'm also looking at a re-bore kit with a slightly oversize piston to get a bit more power out of it combined with some carb work and a decent exhaust. I've also started deciding on what electrics will go in, a Daytona Velona speedometer and hopefully a P700 style headlight. I plan on using LED lights to reduce current draw as I'm still considering using a battery eliminator, but may end up with a small lawnmower style battery yet.
