I removed the paint from the aluminum part of the radiator screen, taped it off and repainted. I have all the necessary components together and ready for the big day! BTW Al, I have the front caliper parts.

I looked at the LTD and they connect to the switch (neutral?) at clutch.

Just spent some quality time reading through this entire post. Good reading. You guys have done some fantastic work on that 75 from the day she arrived in the back of a truck. The help from other members with parts was pretty cool too.

Bike looks great and we all know it was put back together the right way with the team that was working on it.

Beverages consumed .... cracks me up lolol

Now we need to know the subset of beverages consumed, as it is just a few weeks the total will need to be documented.
