After rebleeding the rear brakes with a Mityvac, I now have brakes. Was concerned since the M/C is brand new! Here are some pics after a quick wash this morning. Before, I took it on the road for the first time, 9psi on the boost gauge! Nice. Not used to the hydraulic clutch system after the '71 Jeep CJ5 and the 911 cable jobbies. Wife wants to detail the interior before pics, so, here are some exterior pics.

New CGT project up on the lift this morning. Had to use the floor jack for the 'rear' wheels! Cleaned up the workshop as well, meaning, I picked up the empty beer bottles!

Thanks! I have to install the 250lb Weltmeister springs, and Bilstein HD inserts in front that I have. The current setup is way to spongy with the 30 year old stock stuff. I should re-do the control arm bushings as well. Now that I know that a MAPP gas flame does a nice job of eliminating rubber torsion carrier bushings, these should be a piece of cake!

I have to sell the car though, it's number........eight!

I impressed that you have been able to work in the machine shed during this heat wave....

Yeah, have to have a fan on the old body, mine, just to keep the gnats off of me~! However, the six foot beer cooler does a nice job in forgetting the bugs~!
