Thanks. I try. I know the thread is a little detail heavy but if anybody else can take away ideas\motivation\encouragement for their own builds, I consider it a win. Of course, I also welcome advice and criticism. I'm not a pro by any stretch but I like to learn and do. The more informed we all are, the better.

I recently noticed the calendar and I'm now trying hard to get this damn thing on the road on July 15. That's the 2nd anniversary of the bike's crash and the beginning of her (his?) resurrection. Money will keep me from "finishing" by then, but I'll be pleased if I can at least get a shakedown run in on that day.

I'm pretty solid. Thanks. Lots of lingering issues I could whine about but in the grand scheme I'm lucky. I try to focus on that.

After about 5 hours yesterday, I'm a bit under halfway done with the stitching.
