I finally got my engine put into the frame!
Also put the triple-trees back on. Guess I forgot to tell the powdercoater not to coat the insides where the tubes go, so I spent an hour or so sanding out those spots.
Need to borrow the tool to pull the fork tubes. I'll go see if Larry at GT is in tomorrow (yeah, I know he's supposed to be closed, but I've caught him there on a Mon before).
Anybody local (MI) know of someone who can machine sleeves? I put a new carrier bearing in the smingarm and there is too much play with the one end of the driveshaft and the other is too big. My UJ seems to be in good condition. Either need to machine the other end to size or maybe there is enough room to sleeve the original end.


Anyway, it's starting to look more like a motorcycle than a pile of parts!
