This was a good day for the project, but because we were so busy working, we didn't snap off many pics! Big D has some he'll send me. Once he does, we'll get some more pics up....
Lil' d does some final aligning and shimming of the front wheel assembly. Notice the seat post and temporary seat are now installed. However, the post will NOT remain that tall!!
Just another shot to use as filler until I get some better shots from Big D.....
A vision of things to come??
Later that night, we actually got the motor in, routed the brake and throttle cables, got it fired up, and I s-l-o-w-l-y rode it into the street.....at night.....in pitch black darkness. With a known tempermental carb, it promptly died. With hardly any brakes, that was probably the best thing that could've happened! We called it a night.
