This is the latest I have waited to get out for my first ride. Went out for 1&1/2 hours . Will be ridding to Kitchener tomorrow to meet up (hopefully)with @ReinyRooster & @XV1100SE

Hi Everyone I wrote an update on Sunday Nite but for some reason it did not post, I spent the first hour or so going over the Bolts installed the previous day to confirm I did not miss any and checked for correct Torque, refilled the Final Drive with new 80w90 gear oil. I spent some time test fitting the Vmax Silicon Hose set I purchased off amazon and made a list of Hoses and clamps I need in order to replace all the hoses on the Bike. Only one hose was too short for the Top Rad to the Fan Sensor tee, but I was able to source a piece of hose at a local Industrial hose supplier, the other issue I ran into was the Hose Diameter was about 3mm larger and the Spring Clamps would not go On the Hose so I found a kit on amazon with the larger Clamps I need. Also finished putting the Head bearing races in the Frame and Mounted the Triple Tree and then went to work on assembling the Front forks. Finished up Sunday Evening by Polishing the SS Exhaust Pipe I built and cleaned up and polished the Front Cylinder Pipes. Monday Morning I was off to the Hose Supplier to pick what I needed, then back in the garage. First order of Business was to install the Exhaust on the Bike, then I went to work on making the Block off plates for the Front forks and gave them a coat of Paint to match the new Black Lowers. Replaced the Clutch Slave Hose and re-installed the Steel Clutch Line on the frame and installed the new Speed bleeder. Filled the forks with new Synthetic Fork oil by Amsoil (10wt) as suggested by Progressive, installed the Springs then closed them up. Changed out the front Axle Seals and checked the bearings they were clean and turned smooth with no play so I opted to leave them and repacked them with bearing grease then installed the Front wheel. The bike is now back on both Wheels with new tires. Went to work on dismantling the rear subframe to get it prepared for a fresh coat of paint, and the day was done. Toke the Nite off from the Garage tonight as I feel like I am coming down with a cold so I will get some rest over the next couple nights and go back at the bike on the weekend. I am hoping to get the remainder of the Mechanical work complete over the weekend with the front and rear subframes re-attached, rebuild the 3 brake calipers, and finalize all the different plumbing, hopefully test fire the Engine again to fill the engine with Antifreeze. That is it for now have a great week all Herman

Those saddlebags just don't look right, but then I'm not a Harley guy. Other than that,,, looks nice! so far.
