Been a while since I’ve posted. Life is getting in the way of my hobby.

Business is booming!!! I am installing a mini split air conditioner and moving my girlfriend and her daughter in. we’ve had birthday parties, 4th parties and social events to attend. Mower batteries and truck alternators have needed attention. and Unfortunately the days of working on the bike in my living room are over, lol.

with all that said, I’ve got my cone wrenches to tighten my rear hub. When time permits, and I’m not sure win yet, I will get this rear hub tightened and test this bike on the road.

Life still impedes my progress.

business is still booming, we moved my GF in and moved her sister another weekend. GF bought a swimming pool so has to set that up. New air conditioner is fantastic. Still getting the house settled in with 3 people living here now. Also have a bonfire, swim, cookout and consume adult beverages party Labor Day weekend. And we taking our motorcycles out that Sunday. Haven’t had time to ride that either for a few months.

I will probably get back to the bike as soon as business slows down and the temperatures cool down. It could be October or November. Hang with me, I’ll get back when time permits. Working on this heat is energy zapping and evenings are reserved for A/C these days.

At least you have good reasons delaying your builds Danny. Hang in there. Got to make hay when the sun shines.

That’s mostly it. Making progress on the homestead too, getting nicer all the time.

Another case of a build thread dropping off my radar after I failed to get e-mailed notifications of post updates.
Then out of the blue, I get a notification today.
Anyways ... caught up with your progress during a leisurely breakfast today, Danny.
You didn't ask my opinion but the bare metal look works for me on these vintage inspired bikes. Perhaps some notable features highlighted with a splash of colour. That's my plan for my latest scoot.

Thanks Pete, I have to admit the bare metal has grown on me. Still considering my options at this point. Splash of color here and there might look good

I just saw your comment on the new comments notification on what I said at the top of the forum page and I hadn't received notification since early June so caught up with this thread.

Bike looks great as always. It was nice to catch up.
