Making progress, though it's hard to see:





Starter installed, lathe time required to establish proper clearance on the pinion gear. Sourced heim-joint for shift linkage, used a button head stainless bolt for clearance between shift and front cylinder. Sizing a stainless button head to mount speedo sensor to transmission... all the little things that go into fitting the puzzle together.

More of the little things:



Removed OEM chrome oil tank, replaced with Kraft Tech oil tank... soon to be Satin Black. Mounted jiffy-stand and mounted regulator to front of frame.



Kraft Tech top engine mount. Marine grade tinned wire ordered for wiring harness... will 5 colors be enough?
