so not really an update, but i felt the need to post anyway.
i got everything in the garage moved around so that i have room to work and, so long as i clean up after i'm done working, still a place to park my car. i am hoping i can put the frame on order pretty soon. i was going to use any earnings i got for christmas towards the frame and from there we can start building up.
i've also been looking at some upgrade ignition systems and was thinking about going to a kick-start only setup when i get that far. convert some of the older electronics to updated components and increase the alternator size all while decreasing the battery size. i'm mainly only thinking about what i need to get everything to run right now.
things like a gas tank, oil tank, seat, fenders, front/rear sets, handle bars, controls, etc. etc. are probably going to be down the line considering i won't be able to make a decision on what i even want until i get far enough to sit on the frame and see what i want to do.
overall, a balls ton of work left to do. it's probably time to start tearing everything down and getting it ready for the new frame. this weekend might finally be it.
