Anyway back to the story. I picked up the 32mm socket and gave the pulley some 80 foot pounds. That done I started to put on the covers and trim and it looked so good I had to put in the battery box and toolkit holder. The battery box proved the old adage that 10% of the job takes 90% of the time and I had the worst time getting the screws to line up. Finally it was done and that seemed a good point to end on. So now to fit the tank and work out where the plethora of fuel lines and vents go (thank you California for caring for the environment). Sometime this week I am going to have to press the start button but in the meantime we are looking good.

The end is in sight
Well to be more precise the end of the build is in sight. I am fully expecting there to be some many fine tuning issues as well as the inevitable issues that always occur after a big rebuild. Fortunately that is all in the plan as I shall mess with this thing throughout the winter and as soon as I am happy it is solid and as soon as the weather has warmed up I will get it inspected, insured and on the road.
