I took it out twice yesterday and it went well.
I tried to hook up the speedometer and found that it's missing its magnet. The seller is sending one.
I tried to hook up the backrack and as expected, I'm gonna need an adapter since the bike doesn't have braze ons. Ordered the adaptor and it'll be here Friday.

Haha, no. I only need a gallon or so, but I prefer the look of the 2.4 and 3.4 gallon tanks on Ebay.
If I find a 1-2 gallon tank that isn't a cheap looking "peanut" tank then I'll get it.

My motorcycle jacket came with 10 tacky advertisements sewn on it. I fixed it with a razor.

I bought a 2.4 gallon tank.

It finally warmed up so yard work has been taking away from my motorbike project.
It's about to get drizzly for a few days so I'm hoping to finish the bike off!

Done:

• Got a 2.4 gallon tank!
• Got the magnet for the speedometer
• Installed the seat post adapter that lets me use my back rack
• Installed the back rack

To do soon:

• Loctite the bolts on the backrack and fenders
• Install handlebar mirror

To do later:

• Mess with tach and see if I can get it to work right
• Get a front rack? Handlebar basket?

Okay I'm back! I stored the bike all summer and now it's back out. It took a little love to make it run again without gas dripping everywhere, but now it's tight.

• Install new tach
• Install speedometer
• Install mirror
• Install tire slime
• Install tuffy strips
• Install trailer mounts (axle adapters)
• Get a headlight
• Tail light?

Loving your 4 stroke with a shift kit as much as I am mine?

It's an amazing machine for sure! I love having gears!
I think if I ever change the drivetrain it'll be to the grubee shift kit and an internal hub.
