Have`nt touched the build since Feb 12. Just sitting there. The HHB CDI, brake stuff, clutch cable, electrical stuff etc are all here waiting for a warmer day. No heat turned on in the shop for the last 6 years. Daylight savings time is Mar 10th. That might as well be the 1st day of Summer. I`m anxious to get back on this thing and finish it up.

Let's do this!
Been brutal this last couple weeks. Hoping to get some time in the garage myself.
Got a little something done today. I polished the bracket and mounted the ft brake caliper and line to the MC. Started the CDI install. Used the garage sale Yamaha dial gauge to find TDC and installed the stator and rotor, set the initial timing and air gap. The "things to do" list just keeps getting longer & longer.
I wasn`t really up for this but it was a great excuse to drill some holes. Have to stay current on that or I`ll loose my touch.
If I had a water jet I`d sell a set to everyone who wanted them. Unfortunately I don`t have that. Omar`s gets $59 plus shipping for a pair.
I`ve got less than $5.00 in these and .50 cents of that was for poster board for the pattern and I had to buy a new fine line Sharpie for $1.00. I always thought a pair of these with slots instead of round holes would look better? Maybe on the next build.

Amazing work as usual!
.....interesting reflective lighting in the pics. I like it.
Today I finished the brakes (F&R). New stainless lines and banjo bolt switch for rear. Brakes all bled and no leaks yet. Not even the cheap ass Chinky MC. I`m at a loss for words over that. Installed the tuning fork decals on the calipers. Also mounted the center tank mounting stud. All out of excuses now. It`s down to electrical and carburation.

Man! I really am digging this bike. Richard Pollock’s got nothing on you brother!
Where did you get the tuning fork decals Phil?
Thanks guy`s. I had the original brake stay done with the rest of the chrome parts and decided to use it for now. The tuning fork decals,

So cool that you have surpassed coolness into:
"Supercoolness" ( not suprised-wow !)

Getting there! Mines been sitting. And gonna sit a while longer. Working 70 hours a week for the next forever. Maybe I can afford to just buy everything all at once.
