Thanks guys. I'm hoping to sort out the wheels and brakes this weekend along with stringing the wiring and adding some more shiny bits... then I can get going on the engine. :yeah:

Looks good so far. You should try a timelapse!

I don't have near the patience of the one guy who did the 3000 photos and a lot of coffee one... I'd add one thing, take a pic, add another, take a pic. He seriously took pics of the entire processes of removing, cleaning, and adding the pieces. He probably had more pics of just screwing in one piece than I have in total. :P

Thanks Blackhat! My husband says, well, if it doesn't run, at least it'll be shiny. :eusa_think:

He of little faith.

Well the seat is actually intact so I'd imagine it's in better shape than mine was. :)

LMAO. If you knew my husband's lack of patience with these things you'd know. :) He wants nothing to do with it... and doesn't understand how I can enjoy doing it.

Oh it will definitely run. The engine on the parts bike would start first kick w/choke every time in the morning. I drove it for coffee every morning til the mag quit. Between the two I have no doubt you will have a runner before winter comes.

Definitely going in the right direction here Sacha...... frame looks great! :thumb:

Thanks guys! Had to have hubby tear the middle console out of my car to clean up a damn spill so didn't get much done besides cleaning that up. Did finally pick up a motorcycle jack though. :)

And thank you again CorradosandYahas! It was great to meet you. :)
