hurdles

I mocked up a few more pieces, put together a bracket for the tail light that I made, and working on a sissy bar to hold my gear that I would like to have to option of detaching. I had a problem with the front upper motor mount, the p.o. of the donor frame had broke a bolt of inside there. I used an extension and drilled out the bolt, then went in with a ratcheting wrench and 1/4 tap and put about an inch of threads in. I put new oil lines on the motor and had to pull the starter motor off. The casing came off of the armature causing the brushing springs to compress, making it impossible to slide it all back together. Now I have to try and pull the commutator end cap off and get the brushing plate out to reset all the springs. Worse case scenario, I can make a starter hole cover and run it as kick only until I get the starter motor fixed. Spending all weekend working on it, and waiting for a few new parts. Ordered some new Shinko 240 rear rubber, and running a speed master ribbed tread on the front. I'm either going to be a really happy, or really pissed off guy come sunday evening!
