    Making real progress now - can't wait to ride!

    set the tank on along with the side panels to see how it looks - so far I'm pretty happy!

    Getting closer. Putting the engine back went smoothly, but scraped the frame putting the exhaust back on. go figure. Next, finish the carbs, rebuild the master cylinder and caliper, put the headlight back in and it should be good the go!

    Thanks!

    Finished rebuilding the carbs today (minor set back earlier this week :oops: ), so hopefully be able to fire it up tomorrow. valves adjusted, carbs rebuilt - should run nice!

    Another step closer! Took it for its maiden voyage tonight down the driveway and to the corner and back. Still need to sync the carbs and adjust the mixture (colortune on order), and rebuild the MC & Caliper.

    I CAN'T WAIT!!!
