Taking a roundabout route bit by bit…
Now that the engine is running, I’ll synchronize the carburetors.
Old-fashioned lock nut style—it’s a hassle.
I need to be careful about how the grounds are routed. Each ground connection goes to the individually painted frame.
The battery ground goes directly to the engine.
The brake positive is fixed bare with what looks like a rivet crimp. International work sure is robust. I’ve repaired about ten similar issues like this.
I have new dead-stock harnesses available, so please have them replaced in the future.
The chain case was incredibly dirty. The condition of the chain case and the inside of the fender tells you a lot about how much the owner cares for the bike.
The owner asked me to make a plate since they’re removing the mirror. A rectangle didn’t feel quite right, and the hole positions are angled upward, so I made it custom.
I made it a bit thicker and jagged it up for an “aero” look. Making two on the right by mistake is my little secret…
That’s all for today…
