A couple of pics in the sun. Exhaust is back on. Electrical box installed. Still have some wiring to clean up. Battery box in place. Just ordered my new chain today. Scored a skatebaord wheel from the local shop to turn into my chain roller.



[hr]
Checklist of things left to do...

Chain roller
Hook up all electrical
Build tail light/tag bracket
Wire up tail light
Get chain on
Strip/clean tank. Bondo where the badges were.
Paint tank
Carbs and filters back on
Mount a pivot for rear brake lever
Clutch needs adjusting
Paint handlebars
Install grips
Order tires
Paint wheels/mount tires

It seems like there are a million small tasks on this project. I'm really enjoying it, though.

I'm gonna fab a side-mount plate/light bracket. I just bought a simple, round trailer tail light for it. Decided not to run turn signals yet. Just going simple

I'll have to check those tires out. I have found a place that I can get a set of dunlops for $130 a set

Hahaaa. Had some wiring issues. So I decided to start from scratch and get rid of a bunch of useless crap. Here is what I accomplished during lunch. The good news is that I took out a dozen or so wires and a couple of switches, and I still have a good circuit.

That looks like a nightmare. Good luck.
