With two bikes now, and my projects running over into the larger side I sweet-talked her into letting me swap garage sides so I've got much more space for my shenanigans and she can have the single side all to herself. I've also got a job interview this afternoon so I need to stay in character for that as well.
Sounds like you have a good wifey there.. Good luck on the Interview...

Yea she is a really good sport. She let me go to the South Pole for a year as well and even though it was really hard on her we both grew stronger from the experience.

FYI, got the job so I've been busy lately but I'm also slowly plugging away at getting this thing back on two. Evo engine and trans back in:




Cleaned up the fender some more and made a new license plate/turn signal bracket out of aluminum using my new AlphaTig 201DX TIG welder:




The LED lights on the sides of the fender are just ON and Brake, and the LED strips above the license plate are FLASH for 3 seconds in the middle 8 and Turn on the outer 8 of each bank. They're Hyperlites brand.

And I got those caliper adapters mounted up nicely:






Three washers needed to center the caliper on the rotor (as close as I gave a **** about getting it).
