Found a little more time and got a little more done. It's some slow going with holidays and family stuff going on. That and work seems to interfere a lot in my fun time.
I started on the frame by attaching the "Z" plates. Large slabs of aluminum that hold the rear pegs, the mufflers, and act as a heat sink for the primitive electric system.
Next was the rear rubber, isolastic, mount and the transmission cradel / rear engine mount.
The transmission gets installed.
Next we get the engine into the beast. It's good to see it back.
Off the milk crate and suspended safely and easy to get to.
Bronze bushings have to be pressed into the swingarm.
The rear, old time shoe brakes are installed to the backing plate.
My powder coater got a few shades off from black but since he didn't charge me as it was their mistake I decided to try it and see how it looks.
I should get my wheels back this weekend. It's starting to look like a bike again. Thanks for all the comments. It's been interesting to share this experience with you all.
