Verily, it is done

Well, maybe not totally done, but done enough to race with.

I got the belly pan attached today, which was the last major operation to be completed. The numbers are attached, the belly pan is on, and the seat is.. well, not finished, but good enough. You can see more pictures of the bike in race-ready trim in the gallery.

I still have at least one thing to do: I need a catch-can for the crankcase breather and carbeuretor overflow drains. This will most likely be a soda can zip-tied in place, just to be really high class. But at least it won't melt.

Other than that, it's pretty darn ready to race.

I'll be taking it to Twinline Motorcycles next Tuesday for dyno testing, to get the jetting spot-on. I don't think it's very far off, but the gummint is giving me money back this year, so why not spend it slightly frivolously? I'll also be interested to report back on how many ground-pounding horsepower my rebuilt engine can generate. I'll guess between 12 and 14.

So, hooray for getting stuff done!
