Today is bitter/sweet, more sweet than bitter! The bike works great, but I really enjoyed this project and now it's done with nothing to do until I can ride again. I'm sure I'll keep busy with some other project, but for now I'm content to at least partially enjoy the fruits of job well done. Here it is complete with new hot rods crank / rod, crank bearings & seals, swingarm, linkage, and shock bearings, wheel bearings, engine gaskets etc.
