So today at 7pm I finished my bike. Well... ok. I haven't mounted the front fender yet. Or put a tail light on it. Or timed it. Or installed the new tank emblems. Or adjusted the carb. But I DID ride it!!
It fired up on the second kick! No starting fluid either. I haven't timed it yet... just threw the points assembly on there!
Rear fender was chopped and I have a cool idea for a tail light...
This is my first bike that I've built and finished. This bike was a MESS when I got it. It was stripped to a bare frame and rebuilt over about 6 months on and off.
