Getting close to being done. Decided that I needed a cafe seat. Now trying to figure out the mounting. going to use factory taillight like the nortons did. also waiting on parts to rebuild fuel valves. Hopefully riding by next Wednesday.

Put the front tire back on and it was very hard to get the pads onto,the rotor. Major drag now. Sure a dumb way to have a stud on the caliper that requires you to put the caliper on the fork leg before before you mount the wheel. I note some arrows on the back of the pads and wonder if I got...
