Well, didn't get much of anything done this trip, which was kind of a bummer since I'm getting really close to being in riding condition. I did end up replacing the petcock screw gasket washers (no more leaks!), o-rings and washer in the oil filter and getting the gasket installed so I could put my oil sump filter cover back on and fill it with oil.
However, now I'm having an issue where I'm blowing my main fuse everytime I turn the ignition on. Sometimes it's right away and other times it is fine then suddenly it pops. The instrument lights also dim a bit before it blows, so I'm thinking something must be grounding out or it is something we hooked up that wasn't before (like the brake light switch on the lever). So, next weekend I have some gremlins to squash, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
And here is a test fit (cell phone) picture of the seat and how I'm thinking it will look once mounted. I will be having some metal welded near the front of the seat to cover up the area it doesn't reach down to and to also help the flow of the bottom of the tank into the seat. I also didn't realize there was a difference in the shape of the seat from the 'early' model and the 'late' one, but I actually really like how it looks!
