Based on the fresh powder-coated frame and bead blasted engine, every old part I start to re-install looks dirty, corroded or just plain ugly. I'm not building out a concourse bike, but old chain lube and obvious crap must be cleaned up. This is keeping me from having the bike on its wheels. That, and I decided to powder-coat the triple clamps and bolt-on engine mounts. They will be in my hands on Wednesday. This "clean-up" syndrome is probably pretty common. Its the right thing to do, but not necessary to get the bike running and tested before a track day that's exactly two weeks away.
I also need help in getting the bike off the stand and onto rear and front stands for the finishing touches. My Partner will be here Monday...or I could guilt-trip my son into helping. Tomorrow is a Holiday in the US called "Father's Day." He might fall for it, but he's a father, too with two little ones.
The fact that this is my biggest problem in life at the moment, makes me a very lucky man.
Cheers to all. Happy "Father's Day" to all US Fathers.
