June 2009. Summer is here. Bike
is still not done. Piss. Getting parts is a slow
process. Just finding them is a pain in the ass. I keep
running into little things that are missing. I also found out the
float bowl on the carb is cracked and leaks fuel like a down pour.
However, I did find a painter.
Thanks to Rich for being reasonable and doing a fantastic job on the white
paint I wanted. Turned out great.
We left off with a mock up of the bike.
And finally I've got painted parts.
Well now, I do believe
it's time to do something with this big paper weight I have sitting in the
garage.
This part connects to that part...
Fender and forks attached. A few
notes: First, strap the frame down to the bench!
This whole process was a complete
bitch. Getting the fender up into the forks without scratching the
fender was very difficult. I wound up putting small pieces of a
sheet over the fender and working it up into place.
Then getting the shocks aligned was
aggravating at best. But, it's DONE!
Working in an NOS wiring harness,
headlight bucket with NOS speedo and also the ignition and steering lock.
Center stand installed and rolled on to
the table for a more convenient work space. Jr. is studying a parts
schematic on the rear of the bike.
Look Ma! Rear cushions and swing
arm!
Handle bars and cable set
installed. Now I wait for more parts in the mail.
