An update and A hiccup

I know its been forever since I've posted. As it turns out there's a thing called life that I am living and work and such and things are getting in the way of me updating my blogs.

An update on the bike... SHE RUNS!! =) I got all the electrical hooked up (not the way I want it but hooked up nonetheless) and she now starts. I got a new battery just to be sure. There are a few more adjustments that I need to make. Lubricate all the cables so they are free and clear and won't bunch up on me while I am riding. I need to fix the electrical work since I have no power going to the headlight. Attach all the marker lights and brake lights.

I have also replaced the clutch plates and springs. I wish I had photos of those, but I have been working on the bike and my hands are too dirty to hold my phone or camera. So sorry about that.

Unfortunately, I got home today and found a puddle of gas under my bike. The tank has too many holes. I now have to figure out what to do at this point. Since they no longer sell new tanks for my bike, I either have to get it fixed (patched up with new metal) or have a custom tank built for it. Sigh.

More later.
