5 years in the making with this thing.  I really got into high gear when I cut my advancer spring down some.  That really seemed to help with idle issues I had.  Months ago I realized the PO wrote me a bill of sale but never actually signed it  :( 

Over the months I did some hand wringing over what to do.  A few days ago, I decided to look through old email and see if I had anything.  Bingo, found the guy.  He had moved but only a few blocks away.  I did up another bill of sale, had someone from the sheriff's office verify the VIN and today it was registered!

A few small issues though.  One, I've been battling the front brake.  When you apply the brake, the brake pad seems to get wedged in the caliper.  I noticed it long ago but never got around to it.  I'm also looking for an exhaust. 

At any rate, it is road legal as of today and I can now get it out on the road for more thorough testing.

Figured I'd add the final picture of this project...

If the pads are "new" then simply remove the pad on the piston side, and lightly sand the edges. Aftermarket pads often are ever so slightly thick around the edges from paint and get hung up with the piston retracting. Pushing out is not the problem as there is sufficient hydraulic pressure to move them...

It could also be the return circuit in the Master Cylinder is clogged. Carefully unscrew the reservoir cap (protect your paint!) and squeeze the lever. As you release it, you should see a small burp in the fluid indicating the fluid returning form the caliper. If not, time to service the MC.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
