    Introduction - new guy "midtown"

    First Midtown, let me thank you for your service. Second, don't sell yourself short. If you can survive bootcamp (even the Air Force's) you can figure out an engine. there are plenty of resources here (I read Drewpy's rewiring post everyday, so when i go to tackle that beast, i'll knock it out...

    Build kicked off after long delay

    Dumb question is it possible to go battery less?, if so i think that may be the way i'll take, and keep that battery box off my rebuild.

    Got a bit more of the tear down done. pulled the battery box which was rusted to hell, and most of the electronics and wires. I slightly goofed, and forgot to label what went were. but that's of no moment, since i plan on cutting out as much of the useless electronics, and i want to teach myself...

    Gear mother f'r! Do you wear it?!

    I wouldn't be caught dead without full gear, no matter what the weather. Had a car clip me at speed once, and if it weren't for gear i'd be dead, so yeah gear is a must.

    Awesome, thank you for the part list for the Oil filter. Looking forward to getting her started. Once i get her started, weight reduction comes next. then the wiring.

    It's not much right now

    Going to go the wrapping route for sure, i love that look, as well as painting the engine covers, just to spruce it up. I'm trying to keep the budget for this build under $1000. I'm getting my seat cover from one of my co-workers who mostly does saddle work for horses, but she's going to hook...
