The Latest

Since I'm already way past due for an update, I'm sorry I don't have a better one then this. But since I don't have many people who follow this...

The rear subframe has long since been "complete". But the bike has a ways to go. Below I have a few pictures of how it currently stands with the rear fairings on the new subframe. I think it looks pretty great, but could benefit from some paint.

Also, notice the mess underneath the front seat. There is a lot exposed that I need to hide. Taking all that was under the original rear fairing and trying to hide it in a sport bike fairing that's 1/3 the size is not easy.

Currently the state of the bike is: Immobile.

I went about doing some minor maintenance and ended up putting the bike out of commission. After draining the bike of all fluid in the clutch and brake lines, I find that I am too inept to figure out why I cant bleed the air out of the lines. Whether its because I'm not smart enough to use my Mityvac, or the hoses are worn/cracked. Just another setback to get over.
