      This morning as calibrate the sender unit to hit the half tank mark with 2.5 gallons of fuel in the tank. As you can see its about dead on. And I rolled it out into the drive for a little video and now you can see her in better light than the pics I have been posting. Mailman just dropped off the front sprocket so guess where Im headed to right now!!!

        Got some goodies in the mail today. "Should" have all the brakes done and new chain and sprockets on by bedtime tomorrow night. Then we can see how well she rolls around the hood if theres still time.

          Rode the bike 7 miles tonight. Got brake pads on and brakes bled. Installed the front sprocket and chain. Put the mirror on and adjusted all the switch boxes to be where i want them. Mind you i still need to get the airbox to carb boots but other than that the bike seems to be pretty good. Has all the gears and shifts like silk. So so very close.

            I hope you don't restore bikes "by the hour", or if you do, when can I bring you one? Great work at a astonishing pace! Can't wait to see more pics of this one.

              I guess i have about 60 total hours..or there abouts..into the bike. So I wouldnt know what a reasonable per hour rate would even be.

                      Todays docket included adding some protection to all my hard work. Apply liberal amounts of Wizards Power Seal to a rag and massage it very well into all exposed metal surfaces. Let dry and rub clean. I dont recommend anything unless Ive tried it myself and I can tell you this stuff works as advertised.

                        Any worries about getting the Wizards on fresh paint? I've started using it as a polishing final step, and so far it's awesome stuff. Working on my wheels now, polishing and painting, and was wondering about it getting on the freshly painted portion of the rim...

                          I got a little on the bottom edge of the tank when I was doing the cam end covers and it didn't seem to hurt anything.

                            Well its been a few weeks and life gave me some slack tonight so I jumped on it. Got the new rubber on last week but hadnt remounted the tires, the 750 airbox boots came in and had been setting a few weeks, and Marc ( Kochic ) sent me the needed ignition switch cover. Frank Z's decal made the cover come back to life.

                            So tonight the airbox got put on. The boots could be maybe 1/8 inch longer but they go onto the carbs well enough for the clamps to work nice. If youre not picking gnats out of fly crap you wouldnt even notice it really. Tires got put on and chain adjusted. And I rechecked all the cylinders with the proper airbox on and readjusted the mix ratios with the Colortune. I can say that for all intensive purposes the bike is at 100% now.

                            Tires are IRC GS11 AW in the vintage tread patterns.

                              Bike looks great! Amazing job on the build.
