Yeah it really looks good! Sometimes I wish I cared more about cosmetics. Its just so much harder than just wrenching.

Hey, if all you can get accomplished in one day is a master link that is still progress, sometimes it just works out that way.

She is looking good, won't be long until she roars. B)

I would be interested in some of the badge stickers if there are any left. Let me know.

First of all I want to say Thanks to everyone for posting
and encouraging me so far in this build some of you for your help
in fabricating some in advice and some for helping me with much needed
parts

Today was a monumental day!
Yes thats right IT rides like a different bike as my daughter would say OMG!!

The gearing seems perfect so far

Ok! now for the OH SHIZ moment I rode down the street like a 6 yr old with
a new bicycle venturing ever so slightly further looking back at momma
for apptoval pulling back to the house when the did i tighten that? monster krept in
and with the exception of the taillight bracket everything was tight.

now lets try it a little further pull down about a quarter mile from the house
do a roll through the nights home parking lot decide to fet off and take a
look at my creation

flip the kickstand down look down as its still a touch too tall and
my right rear cam plug is sitting sideways in the hole with oil pumping out I
immediately jump off and about but my bum in the oil slick

feeling the panic set in i am standing there holding my cam plug in my
hand watching oil pump out on to the asphalt looking lie I was audtioning
for a vaudville act. put it in? yes? no? do it? dont? so i stuck it back
in the hole and it slid right in not taking the time to look how bad the
bleeding is I putted it Back!

good way to waterproof your boots- I ended up going with the aluminum cam end plugs and I'm very happy with them. Scott
