Dressed
Well she is naked no more......her clothes are back on, and I even
went for a small test run, only 7 kilometers, it started to
rain....bummer
so overall she goes well, brakes are a bit soft, don't really grab, some buzzyness under certain rpm's not sure what that is all about going to have to figure it out, she pulls good and strong, can't over do it tires are not scrubbed in yet....
I have not put on the mid fairings, I don't have the mounting bolts and nuts and what not, have to still get those, so it's like she is wearing a very short skirt....LOL
I am happy....my work has put a smile on my face....
I will take some glamor shots once she is fully completed, but for now these will have to do.....

Black.....
Well today the tins got PlastiDipped.....it's a cheap alternative to
actual paint, it comes off, and for the time being it will do....
Have to let it dry, but in a few hours I will be able to get the tins back on, and she is ready to Rock and Roll....
of course I had to take some pictures...

Chain on......
Well I was able to get the chain on, and not only that but after it was all in place, I even took her for a test run......
WOW, WOW, WOW
Running like a brand new bike, everything works as it should, OK brakes are a bit soft, so I might have to bleed them a bit more and see if I can get any trapped air if it's in there...
The months of work really have paid off, and I am proud of myself, once again....
Can't wait to get her plated and scrub in the new tires and really give her a run.....
It's going to be a great summer
and of course a few pictures....

Tires mounted
Well a slight change of plans, and this time for the better, got a call from the guy that was going to mount and balance the tires for me, to stop by tonight if I had the time, well of course I have the time, and was on my way as soon as I had the rims off the bike and into the back of the SUV....
Got to his place, and in a bout 45 minutes he had the tires on and balanced...
Zipped on home, and me being one not to wait, I got changed and back into the garage to put these nice new sticky rubbers on the bike....
rims and tires are on, brakes are on, front end all torqued to spec, rear almost done, can't do the main axle as I still have to put the chain on, but the calipers are to spec, so she is almost ready to Rock and Roll.....
So here we go.....just a few pictures...
