LOL I don't think anyone is that big of a fan of my build to have my bikes name on the front other than me. I was going to say you can order a KZRider shirt from Cafe Press, but the apparel link is now gone from the website. I tried searching Cafe Press, which is where the link used to take you to order but it is not an option any more. luckily I had the graphics for the old shirt sent to me so I might be able to have one made by cafe press still. If you really want one let me know, I'll look into it.

She looks good on that bike.

Thanks. I saved it. A whole pic of the finished bike might do well.

I'm currently in the process of putting the cylinder and head back on. Just had to tear it back down. The cam chain slipped out my hand and when I went to drag it back up with an extendable magnet the end came off and of course went down inside the motor. 5th time is a charm.

I just use a piece of baling wire to hang it from the frame like a big hook. If I drop it, I just fish it out. Sometimes you got to jiggle it until it comes out all the way.

Haha, no Davido, just time. It's that time of year that it is miserable in the garage in Mesa, AZ. It's been triple digits. I was also waiting on my slave cylinder to arrive. I am currently on my second cardboard template. Will transfer it to MDF and then cut a whole for the slave cylinder. Maybe I'll get some of that done done today.
