Ok so I was being optimistic when I hoped we’d have the bike together (minus the plastics) by July 4th. The good news is that the jet kit, forks, battery tray, and battery will be here this week. I can’t really order anything else this week since I blew what little bit of extra cash I had left on a few pool toys. I needed something to float on in the pool, and the old floats we had weren’t holding air.

We also have another problem I wasn’t expecting. The gas tank sat on the porch for a couple weeks, and we’ve had 1 heavy rain. It looks like water got in the tank, so when Hubby cranked her up the other night she sounded like crap.  There wasn’t much gas left in it to begin with, so he drained that.  The carbs are getting a full cleaning anyway since he’s got to take everything apart to install the jet kit. He cleaned the tank up last night and JB Welded the two small holes. That’ll hold until I can find another tank.

The only other major thing I still have to order are the rotors. Putting things back together is the easy part. Waiting on things to ship is killing me!
