hey all, wanted to give a quick update. Weather has been nice and the bike has been running pretty well. Needs a little ether to start when its chilly, but otherwise runs and rides. I've been enjoying just putting some miles on it so far this spring, but the bike is definitely not yet "finished" (if these bikes ever are). I'm still trying to procure an air cleaner cover / tool tray, the idle still walks a bit, and I've really noticed that the thing is leaking oil. After my 70 mile ride today, the oil pan, kickstand and portions of the bottom of the pipes were slick with oil. It isn't leaking while parked (in fact no drops under the bike all winter), but when running I can definitely see oil seeping from a few places. I think for now, I'll just keep riding it, and maybe towards the end of the season I'll start planning a tear down and rebuild (which I'm definitely anxious about doing!).
Hope everyone is enjoying spring and getting miles on their bikes!
