Been way too long! But not giving up on this build. Funny how the currents of life ebb and flow. Lost my mom three years ago, dad needed open heart, got past that, then prostate cancer, free and clear of that...cue the teenage years with two girls...man life's been so full, but along the way taught me alot about myself. Let's see...where was I...
Shortly after receiving my new shift forks, I had the jugs machined for a set of new Wossner forged pistons...them mom started having all of the complications that come with Parkinson's and I had to pause the bike for some hard times and life at its fullest.
I find myself drawn back to the bike and shifted my efforts to a rolling chassis. Been setting a small goals of "a little bit daily" no matter how small and making strides. So far I have the frame, swingarm, chaingaurd, footrests, kickstand and triple tree cleaned up.
I installed the tapered roller bearing kit from All Balls Racing.
My goal before priming and painting is to fully assemble the rolling chassis to make sure all of my parts are present, accounted for, as well as cleaned up. I feel comfortable with the path I'm on and have been making some really great progress. Pics to follow soon when I figure out a good image hosting site to pic from.
Good to be back on the horse.
