She's alive! Took a real quick shakedown run around the block. Seems to be all good. Gonna let it cool off and go over all the bolts to make sure I got everything. Still have some painting and details to take care of but nothing that prevents a ride.

The seat is quite comfortable on the road. It's easily as comfortable as the LePera Silhouette I had on it last year. The chain is smooth and silent. It pulls real nice but I didn't really get on it. Want to get a few shakedown runs on it before I trust it fully.

Gonna spend the summer riding and mulling over what (if anything) to do about a rear fender or frame trim to cover the rear down tubes.
I'm trying to decide the best way to get a dual disc front end on it. I'm leaning toward a late model 49mm front end.
A 150+ front tire and 16" spoked wheel.
Maybe some 3° raked cups for the neck.
Custom riserless (probably) low bars. Drag style or similar.
All new hand controls. Probably Motogadget microswitches. Not sure about levers. Something minimalist.
New grips. Maybe with an internal throttle. If not, single cable.
New mirrors. Probably JM Cones. Maybe Schooners.
New cables.
New calipers and floating rotors.
Probably a custom tank and console delete.
Motoscope mini.
Black rocker covers, I think. I keep going back and forth in my head.
Still want to squeeze the 200 in the back. If possible, without spacing out the primary.
