The bike is more complete than it has been in months.
Does anyone hate wiring harnesses? 'Cause I do. I give it 1 in 4 that I got it back together correctly. We'll find out when I try to start it (hopefully over the weekend). I did buy some wire shielding that I think works a little better than just the multiple crusty electrical tape loops, not that those loops aren't still inside there.
The long awaited reunion of my carbs and engine. I was going to do a complete stripdown of the carbs, but upon closer inspection it looks like the last owner cleaned them pretty well, fairly recently. When I opened up the number one carb it was almost spotless inside. So I decided that I would just give them a good surface clean instead of monkeying with them. If they run rough then I will address it later.
More assembly:
I've been thinking about applying some rubber feet to the bottom of the seat assembly, kinda like the stock seat. I want to try and dampen road vibration, I can tell that with it just sitting on the hinges and lock it was kind of stiff. Only thing is, I hadn't figured out what to do cheaply and easily. Then I noticed these door stops at Lowes. There you go. They work great, and cost 75 cents each. Gonna get 2 more to round it out.
