    Apparently the PO cut off and twisted the grips forward some.
    They're actually fairly comfortable to me, but they will be gone before it's on the road.


    Anyway... Not too many updates yet. I pulled the carbs off and I'm awaiting some o rings. I'm not tearing them apart completely if I can avoid it, but I pulled all the jets and blasted them with carb cleaner.
    In other news, I've been polishing some more of the case, and I need to order a hex bolt kit to put it back together.

    I'll probably stop at the DMV tomorrow or monday and pick up whatever brochure they have to study for the written test.

      Any news on getting a title?

        I'll get the stuff together to mail out tomorrow. But I don't anticipate any problems.
        I don't know if it's kosher to link to other motorcycle forums, but there's a big thread on getting Vermont registrations on another site. Seems to be pretty fool proof.

          Cool. No issues linking to other sites.

              Good to know.
              This is the plan then.

              Once you have the Vermont registration, that can be transferred to any state.
