First off, Bert; these are the shocks I bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170477452324
As for recent work....
The engine went back together, still waiting for some socket head bolts so I can torque the cases and what not. I also polished (poorly) the flywheel/stator cover and the sprocket cover. I'm trying to find one of the fancy double-fold-over-lock-washer things for the nut/gear that goes outside of the rotary valve cover. The top end is at the shop, as there were some inserts coming out of the cylinder, but the head/jug is freshly blasted and looking nice.
Stator needs cleaned and reinstalled (after said case bolts)
Made an oil pump block off plate
Finished polishing hubs, and installed the wheels with some new rubber (still need to put on some weights)
And the forks got powdercoated
Started making/hacking a fender and tomorrow I should be able to finish up the bracket. Whether or not I use it is another question
Tank needs repainted, after a few drops, some masking tape "staying behind" after paint, etc etc.... but for now (until spring when it's warm enough to paint again) I will just run it as is
90% done with running wires
Overall, she's coming along nicely methinks
