What is left?

So we are nearing the build timeframe for the bike.  SUPER STOKED!

Tonight we plan to:
  1. Rebuild the other front fork and clean/sand both.
    1. Fill with ATF Oil
  2. Lightly sand fins if finishing coat is dry enough
  3. Kick stand ideas/clean up old mount (for welding Thursday)
  4. Mount rear sprocket
  5. Mount brake drums to wheels
  6. Begin engine assembly (if paint is dry enough)
Thursday Welding
  1. Frame hoop 
  2. Kick stand bracket
 On one sunny day:
  1. Get Sand/Sandblast box of parts (engine mounts, kick stand etc..)
  2. Paint blasted parts (sit for 7 days)
  3. Paint Frame (sit for 7 days)

Once the paint is dry...WE BUILD! and curse

 Things we still need:
  1. Sanity
  2. Long hours in the garage
  3. Beer
  4. More Beer
Parts we still need:
  1. Handlebar Tape Wrap
  2. Exhaust Fabrication/Maybe Exhaust Wrap
  3. Speedometer
  4. Headlight
  5. Metal Fenders?
  6. Seat Pan/Foam

    Great work so far! The stock Exhaust cover looks so cool, I'd recommend you keep it, or sand it down, Ala' the tank?

    Drill it out if you need the performance mod...

    Cool thanks for the advice. I think we are going to go for a custom exhaust of some sort since the stocker is so heavy. WE may use the cover or cut part of it - may use it on another build also.
