Rust Bucket first ride
« on: September 18, 2011, 08:43:16 pm »
Got her on the road for a quick test.  I' m about 95% done with just the detail work to do and install the front fender.  She still smokes but I'll just have to see how she runs after a few miles.

Thanks for looking.  I've got more pictures to add to my build thread if you are interested.

Looks good!

Maybe it was just in the audio... but it almost sounded like one of the calipers was dragging a bit?

Good ear but I think it's the chain hitting the center stand.  I have to figure out a way to lower it a bit.
