Well I went out to the garage last night after the kids had gone to bed. Not much I could do in the dark, but I certainly gave it my best shot. Cleaned the speedo, tach, and throttle cable. Rerouted some cables I mislaid in my haste to replace the forks. Brought the bars and controls into better position. Cracked another beer. Installed my bar end mirrors. Played with my ignition (might need to get another one). Found out that my $3.00 turn signals need to have 3 wires for the front (i bought some that only had 2, they work in the back). Hit the crome up with some 0000 steel wool. 1000 grit sandpaper to remove some of the corrosion on the outer engine case.
So now the list is shortening on things I have to do. New petcock, look through my carbs (again, might take off the SoS and replace with fuel filter), lighting (find some 3 wire units), Make some brakets for my turn signals, and a few misc bolts and washer replacements and she should be steet legal. Looking forward to putting some K on the bike, And being able to get to some cosmetic upgrades (polishing!!!!).
