Progress check

Another milestone - back on two wheels, suspension fully rebuilt, electrics in place. 

The front brake discs are only nipped up with a couple of bolts at present. The other bolts are enjoying a bath in WD40 to loosen and dissolve off the surface rust on these chromed items.

It interesting to compare the bike in this state with my previous milestone moment. It shows how much substance is added around the rear shock in the form of the rear mudguard, battery box etc. Check out the attention to detail around the linkage, footrest plate and brake area. Stupid in so many ways, but tremendously satisfying for me in so many more.



Next, sort out a way to mount the oil temperature and pressure gauges and resolve the problem I have with the pressure sensor fouling the exhaust cross-pipe support bracket or touching the right-hand header.
