And for the first time ever, I rebuilt a set of carbs haha. Not bad at all!

Ever closer to being "done". Only thing I need to get it running is a battery, then it's just a long list of little stuff until I can ride it! And the weather of course... Indiana sucks this year!

Bike is looking mean man. I'm just east of the border in Ohio, I feel for you on the weather. At least I'll feel bad for less time since my bike probably won't be up and rideable when this infini-winter breaks.

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Got the "final" order placed for this thing. Hoping the 180 rear tire is gonna clear the chain. If not, oh well, she can shave down a little bit. Once I have the battery and new controls all she will need is wiring!
