Been working here and there without any updates. Got the brake hooked up with the switch, clutch cover finished with brackets made, exhaust tube bent, exhaust bracket made, all carb linkage completed and throttle hooked up. Still a little bit to go! I need to get more pics.

Thank you guys.
No pics yet, but am down to a few minor things left.
1. adjust the brake light switch. When engine is running, the light is on all the time.
2. threads are stripped out of one of the holes on the engine that mounts the tin that wraps from front of engine to the PTO side of engine.
3. I have my kill switch wired bass ackwards. Run is off, and off is run. (Yea, that one hurt my pulling arm for sure..:laugh
4. My kick stand is just a fuzz too long. When kick stand is down the bike is straight up and down, no lean. If the wind blows, it wants to fall down.
I threw my back out on Saturday afternoon, otherwise those things would have been done already.

I'm going to chalk this build as complete! This one has been quite the journey. Started out with a frame, rear wheel with brake, rear shocks, and rear fender.
I ordered a few parts, had a couple things made by the experts here, bought a thing or two from the great community here, and made some parts myself.
Great advice was offered by the 'nanza gods here. Thank you.
I would like to give a thank you to some people.

[MENTION=1]Hent[/MENTION] for allowing the buildoff this year and to hosting this site.
There are probably many more, but I'm old and forget sometimes. I thank you.
