I got my forward controls all mounted and new linkages fabbed up yesterday (thanks bobberboy for the controls), pics to come later, and rear brake connected and functioning (will be ordering all the needed pads, shoes and caliper rebuild kits to finish up the brakes later this week). Well I got tired of seeing my old girl sitting in the driveway under the carport so I decided to take her for a little spin today just to test a few things out (wasn't going very far as I don't trust the tires). I have to say that it felt really nice to get her moving under her own power instead of being pushed around. The hydraulic clutch worked flawlessly, maybe a little well, I had to let it almost all the way out before it started to grab but when it grabbed there was no slippage. At first I just putted down to the end of the road and around the culdesac testing the engagement of the clutch. After I got around the culdesac pointed back towards the house decided to test throttle response and OH MY GOD!!! the throttle response was amazing, I damn near slid off the back of the of the rails (no seat yet) as she pulled like a freight train through first and into second. I am very pleased with my rebuild on the engine. Now I've got a real bad itch to get this thing finished up, next month I will be tearing her down to send the frame off for hardtailing.
