By popular, relentless and incessant demand I have started painting the frame. 


I have a few drips I have to fix.  Please understand that I started on the other side,  by the time I got to this side I was getting dizzy from the paint fumes.   A couple brain cells more gone for good.   At this rate it won't be long until I'm ready for spoon feeding and sponge baths. 

The wheels are now done.  Looks good.



The JB Weld has cured and those wholes are nicely plugged.  The top of the fender now needs a little body filler to smooth is out.  The underneath is perfect.



The stator cover is back on.

On this note I'd like to thank Toby at Kanata Honda for helping me with my long list of gaskets and small parts I needed to order.  He was very helpful and gave a fellow parts guy a nice discount.  Thanks Toby.

My "brake system in a box" arrived this week.  A full system ready to go.


That's a lie.  What did come in was a used master assembly.  The original one was a mess.  The resevoir was old and cracked, the lever was broken and the whole thing was covered in silicone. 

Mr. Double J tested the thing and once it was together bleed the system with a compressed air suction thing that kind of reminded me of an old flame,  man she could    ...    sorry,  I tend to drift sometimes.  Damn fumes. 

Now I just need a bike to put it on.
