ok so i decided during the break in the rain to put her all back 2gether by myself. here's the adventure!
well, the instrument cluster is mostly plastic, i didn't realize that til after i snapped one of the little rods that it screws on to completely off. so i zip tied it lol it's holding pretty well surprisingly. the flasher relay i put in is HUGE compared to the old one, it made the tank even more interesting to put on. and the tube that goes from the cluster to the tranny i guess is a pain to put back in! THEN the vacuum line coil kept getting in the way, it's a small little line and i had trouble holding the coil back while trying to wiggle it on. AND of course the friggin seat is a chore in itself! but after all that i started her up, a little sputtering but i put fresh gas in her and went for a victory run!
my header wrap doesn't smell too bad, it's been dry for about 3 days now BUT it smoked ALOT! i got quite a few looks over that! it kind of smells like really badly burnt pop tarts ! !
i am loving the way she looks, i spilt a little gas and lost a little of the clear coat but nothing a touch up can't handle. i feel like i'm on an old school bike now, and without the chrome muffler guard she's a little louder as well.
AND yes, u know i had to backfire every decel i needed it!!
