    Now both Michelin AC10 tires are mounted on the rims, and I put the new Race-Driven brake rotors on. Got the new Renthal 14T front sprocket on, and installed the new Tusk high pressure radiator cap. Now I'm all out of parts for today. Should have more tomorrow and Mon./Tues...

    crazybrother... you were running the Tusk taillight prior to going to the trackside unit were you not? Are you interested in riding the Stewards of the Sierra Natl Forrest Dual Sport Ride in July? (In the Yosemite area)

    Yes, I was but it got destroyed by the rear tire and a couple of falls. :D
    I'm doing the Sheet iron next month but maybe. What are the dates?

    Not trying to be a dick, but can you all just PM each other or swap phone numbers?

    The new Renthal sprocket and right side engine cover gasket came today. Working on getting her back together. Still waiting on the gas tank and some bearing kits.

    End...try harder. I will PM George for his opinion. So as not to detract from your post. If you need any help with your build from guys who have done it and can maybe steer you away from any pitfalls we have encountered, you can PM crazy or me. TRYING not to be a dick.
    Please go ahead with post number 13
    Oh, and George.... it's the 19th and 20th PM sent re further details.

    The 3.2 gal. IMS tank came today. Looks good, and more fuel to go the distance now! Swing arm bearings will be here tomorrow, so she'll be all put back together in the next couple days!

    Just have to button up the wiring, and throw the subframe back on then she's ready to go! I already set the new Renthal gold o-ring chain up. This picture was before. I have to say this wasn't a very challenging bike to work on. The biggest problem I've had is waiting on parts, haha.

    She's done! Went around the block, and everything is working great! She's got some kick that's for sure. Knobby tires not a fan of paved roads...

    Looks good, except for those... Blinkers, but they won't last long, then you can replace them with some nice small LED's :D

    Thanks, I didn't even see the LED ones until I already ordered everything. I will end up switching them over down the road.

    Just so you know, in MI you dont need blinkers to be street legal. You will need DOT tires if the police are feeling finicky about following the rules. Nice looking ride...
