There's been a fair amount of progress and a couple of setbacks over the last couple of weeks but nothing much worth posting.
Since I decided to re-locate the oil cooler, I had to find someone local who can use the existing banjo fittings from my stock oil lines & make new ones of the proper length. That is being worked on but they will simply be black hydraulic lines. I need to find a way to cover them.
I discovered the caliper assembly I bought for the front wheel is for the left side of the bike 'when sitting on it' NOT when standing in front of the bike looking towards it. Hey, I didn't know...
My rear fender is on back order for 20 days now & it's holding up getting the sissybar & tail lamp mounted.
Things are slowly coming together as far as getting the bike ready to wire. I've been making brackets all week from steel bar stock for the turn signals, the reg/rectifier, the Procom CDI, and two nice carb supports from brass. I'm sure I'll find others that need making before I'm done. Once I get a decent amount cleaned up and prepped, I'm going to powdercoat them right in my basement. I bought myself a home powdercoater's kit, have done a few pieces and am duly impressed. There will be pics of that entire process when I do it, probably in a few days.
My local welder has been very busy, but he's finally contacted me & is supposed to show up Friday night and then Saturday to do a few things. Hopefully the weather won't keep him from making it.
If everything goes according to schedule, come sometime next weekend I should have a ton of pics about the wiring job and hopefully video of starting her up for the first time.
