Well the some of the boys came out to play... and/or to see the all winter long project come to its closure. The Phoenix project that I have spent so much time documenting on the other site.
We had to fixed one bad wire connection and then it came together...
Added some gas
Made sure the tappet had oil. Already ensured oil at the filter and other hose connections.
Got her started as you'll see in the video and the guys got the biggest kick out of my loose mirror that fell (hopefully that won't be an issue after some loctite and some more torque).
So the vids. There are 4.
I tried to put them in order on a playlist
Phoenix Project
Otherwise here's the individual links.
Start the Phoenix
Phoenix riding away
Phoenix Flight
Phoenix Final Loop
It turned out better than I could have expected.
The bike sounds and pulls great. Just waiting on my headlight mount to get back from chrome and I'll be able to put down some miles.
