Well I had written this long entry in txt format which I'd planned to post, but a ton changed as I worked on the bike today, so most of that post is now out dated.
I need to get 2 new throttle cables, air filters, and some Jets. The bike is SO close now... oh and I also need to get ummmm valve stems for the tires today.
I painted the swing arm, the gas tank (which I have no picture of right now), mounted the tail light, changed the handlebars, and partially made a new sidecover for the left side of the bike using cardboard and gorilla tape.... It will work, its the best bet for now. Might do something better soon, but that requires money and a trip to Home Depot. This is just an idea of what could be.
Ignore the rear wheel in the following pictures, its the front wheel off a bike I no longer own, its just there so I can roll the bike around.
I just had a thought... brb....
I said brb 4 hours ago. First I checked to see if the Norton front wheel would fit in between the front forks of the GS550 I have in the basement (they do), then I took a bath. I'd intended to soak for 20-30 minutes and get out. I just woke up. God I'm still tired!
