April 1st is a month away. If there is a hold up it will be the carburator that I need to get sleeved.

Thanks! That's the look I'm going for! Does anyone else have trouble sleeping when their projects get this close to being done? :-P

Thanks Mick! I really appreciate that. I've been building it in my mind for 3 years. It's coming out in the real world almost as good as it is in my head. April 1st is gonna be rough to make but I'm still shooting for it.

Haven't pulled this thread up for a while- I don't know what you do for a living- but your doing a heck of a job on this bike. Keep sending the pics.

Thanks VMC! To answer your question, I'm a maintenance planner, licensed but never used aircraft mechanic, tinker-er, gearhead extraordinaire!

I'm having the same issues with getting my bike together. Waiting on parts and trying to find time...but hopefully I'll pull out of the gates before the weather clears up. You look like you're moving a bit faster than I am though haha.
