Once again appreciate the compliments. I am having a damn good time watching this come together. Got a good Brother comes by every night to lend a hand. Found a 1 piece riser cap off an old set of bars on the shelf and with a bit of finesse it fits under the RK cover. Riser bolts and new bushings in as well. Got a bit more painted last night. Tonight I will start taping flames on the bags and see if we can get the rest of the rear parts shot. I ordered the Ultima R2 carb, should be here this weekand the inner primary oring is here today, so we can set the motor back in now too.

I didn't like the way the headlight turned out so I shot it again last night. Also got the bags and rear fender done. I will be doing the tank and side covers tonight. Carb is finally at the post office!! Update. Off work at noon today so I sprayed the rest of the parts.

Few more parts bolted in last night...I kinda dig it. Still need to order covers for the primary to get rid of the uglys on there. I went with the Ultima tuneable single fire ignition. Tonight I'll get the rest of the tins on and start wiring.

Thank you. She's running today. I will try to post a video. Lots of little things to button up but it sounds like it's going to chew my leg off.
