Great having you there!

I actually got stuff done today!

Chain went on. The fuse/ammeter/shut-off/contactor sub-panel got bolted up. Wired all the batteries up. Redid the front brake.

Jacked it up, spun the back tire, did a very basic test ride.

Still need to add a third point of contact to the motor mount and tighten a bunch of things down.

The gas tank was looking really good with its four coats of yellow Rustoleum.

Several people said that I should put some clear coat on it. I did, and the paint had a bad reaction to it! Looks like it's back to sanding!

Just wish I had gotten more photos and video. It's had to both DO something and take photos, make videos, etc....

Thanks again Stephan!
