Yesterday I finished the final wet sanding of the primered bodywork; they are ready for paint. My plan is to print out the decal templates at the bodyshop some time this week, and this coming Saturday I will paint all the pieces.

I disassembled, cleaned, greased, and reassembled the clutch, throttle, and front and rear brake lever assemblies. I then flushed both front and rear brake systems and replaced the fluid. The engine should be getting to me some time this week.

Tonight I built the new speedometer mounting bracket. After some back and forth thought processes, I have decided to not run headlights or a front fender. The headlights and fender catch a lot of wind, so that won't do. I fabricated a mounting plate that uses the clipon-to-triple mounting holes. The speedo sits above the triple clamp now, which gets it out of the wind.
