Very cool, man. She's gettin' there. :)

Looking good, and it did fit through the door too! Good to see you've got a 'supervisor' keeping an eye on your workmanship:D:D.

Well wonder of wonders, I rode her home this morning! Turns out I wasn't getting any fuel to the carbs because I had mistakenly hooked the vacuum hose to the downward port on the petcock ... somehow didn't even notice the rear-facing one until I looked a bit closer.

She's cold-blooded, has a slight coolant leak (from the thermostat housing) under pressure, I need to re-seat the speedo drive in the sprocket cover, and a few other little issues (not to mention plastics) but she's rideable! Seems to run pretty well, too.

And LOUD ... the can is nothing more than a hollow shell ... no packing or other contents to be found, so I'll have to do something about that eventually.

Here are a few pics of the momentous occasion (and yes, the tires -- especially the rear -- were way low on pressure ... I didn't ride her far before filling up :D):
