July is almost over. So is this
project.
Remaining parts arrived and the bike is
95% done.
Rear wheel and final drive was installed
along with the rear braking parts. Chain guard and sprocket covers
are on and pretty much every thing else that I needed to put on.
Nate came by on Sunday morning and rocked me out of bed to get the wiring
done. We wound up working for about 10 hours and when we were done,
we were riding the bike! There are still a couple of things to
finish up, but it's alive at last.
Remaining
short list is...
get
break light working - the bulb and switch are good there is a wiring
problem somewhere,
change
headlight ring for a better one that I have - the good headlight is in a
crappy ring, and the beam adjuster is froze, so it will take some patience
to get out,
adjust
the clutch - good lord, is it really that stiff???
change
the horn - which it would seem died and/or I shorted/fried it when Nate
and I were doing the wiring,
change/fix
gas line due to leakage - that may result in pulling the tank and tearing
the petcock apart again - our first petcock install resulted in a half
gallon of gas all over the engine and everything else below it,
getting
and installing hand grips, installing a better ground strap, installing
the air cleaner, and putting the side covers on.
And there you have it.
