Problem with parts for Chritmas is the list just keeps getting longer. Santa's going to have to add a 2nd sleigh.

i only need a few more parts for this bike

drag bars
headlight brackets
grip
carb gaskets

i need to find a airbox cover too

I'm in the same pattern where every day I order everything I think I need. Then I repeat the process the next day, and the next day, and.............. I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

The bike is looking great!

Just did that. Went in to pick up some SS bolts today, so I could get some things finished over the weekend. While standing at the counter, realized I had forgotten to write down the length I need for the kick start.

Back on Monday.

Very nice paint. Serves as a motavational tool for me to get off my a$$ and get mine done.

Looks good! Keep it going!
