Ive been working on it here and there, hit some rough spots elsewhere in life.
Done the wiring finally, it was a bit of spaghetti there for a while.
There was a big crush in the left hand pipe thats probably been there the whole time.....
Again, this is just a rider...not a restore....sure if I had the $$ id go for some chrome chambers but.......
I had to go backwards a little to put the new brake shoes in and the new rear tire. Of course I pinched the tube when putting the tire on so now Im waiting on a new tube. (I change all my own tires, but once a year or so is not enough to get it down to a painless process...theres a lot of cussing and screaming and I have about a coin toss chance of wrecking the tube in the process.)
Remember that line from "on any Sunday"......" If you cant change a tire in less than 6 minutes, you cant be competative in the ISDT.."
ok, well there goes that dream.
The headlight assembly is from some sort of Suzuki....never knew that in the 25 years or so Ive owned it...ahh so be it.
My old set of pods are on.
Overall, I will give all the metal another going over....for now I suppose Ill leave the metal in primer....I only put the tailpiece on so I could get the wiring done with the blinkers in place. I dunno we'll see how things go....If I could get my hands on some REAL paint, Id turn my shed into a paint booth and give that a go. EVERYTHING is closed now with the virus crap.
Ive got a truck, a trailer and one motorcycle that I need to do tag and title work for and NO ONE is around to do it. Ive heard some states are forgiving expired tags/inspections for now, but these items have out of state titles and I dont HAVE any tags for them. Thank god thats the sort of things I have to grumble about with this COVID crap...Im still working THANK GOD. If Id have been out of work this long it'd be all over.
Hope everyone is well.
