The Big Trip part 2: Preparation

Today was the big day for building the bike up. Over 5 1/2 hours of work and I still didn't get all I wanted done. I did however get the big stuff out of the way. The chain and front sprocket are on, as well as my new tire (finally). And after 3 weeks or so of riding with out a cooling fan my bike now has a shiny new al-u-minium fan blade. There's still much to be done, including a much needed cleaning of the bike, but things are starting to come together.














The goods;
Dunlop 607 130/80-17
DID 520V O-ring chain
JT 14T sproket
Dual Star aluminum cooling fan
Parts Unlimited brake pads
new brake lever
new engine cover gasket

new oil
