I had several delays and thus started a little late, but I managed to get a bit done.

What’s left on the body is to mount and connect the tail lights and secure the wiring to the body. I see JB Weld in my near future.

I have a plan that might work to mount the turn signals on the body, but I’m pretty sure they will go on the front end. I think they will look better there.

Along with few ‘little’ things like relocating the fuel filter (the filter is too near axle and the fuel line too near clutch lever), mounting my obnoxiously loud horn and installing the bumper (besides the protection it provides and the trailer hitch, the license plate mounts on the bumper), the major things keeping it off the road will be building the throttle cable and the front wheel/tire.

I say wheel/tire because if I don’t get the new(ish) wheel relaced in time for the weekend, I need to at least change the tire on the old wheel.

The throttle cable shouldn’t be difficult, but it cannot be skipped!

The only purchase I think I will need to make is grips and a second mirror mount.

Of course, once it’s actually on the road, I still need to tune the EFI system. I think I can have it running reasonably for the weekend, though probably not optimally.

Hey, if I don’t get stranded in the median on I-20, I’ll be well beyond pleased.
