Default Day 3

Today I got all the cables installed minus the front brake. I got everything put back together minus the air filter mirrors and exhaust. It's unbeliveable how easy those magnum cables are to install. My biggest worry was the internal wiring i'm a shade tree mechanic at best so wiring I crossing my fingers cause I had to pull quite a bit but the Novello extension held up, Which I was shocked to see that it worked.Adding up all the time I spent so far would be about 10 hours over a three day stretch and I probably have 2 more hours until it's all complete then off for a test run. Oh yeah had another gas instance when I hooked up my tank, apparantly when the manul tels you to depressurise your tank you really should. Who would have thunk it. my pics are in my garage stop by and check them out lemme know what you think.
