That's a thing of beauty!!

 

Isn't it? Something magical about that white and blue tape. 

 

Hey flat, somebody left a bunch of boxes and crap on your porch.

 

 

Shit. My wife is a top-rated Amazon reviewer. I have boxes of stuff every day. 

Like an insane amount of stuff, daily. I wonder what the UPS and FedEx drivers think about us. 

 

I've been so anxious for this stuff to arrive. Every day I pull up to the driveway and see boxes on the porch. 

Monday, no. Tuesday, no. Wednesday, no. Thursday, no. Friday...Hell yeah! Still waiting on one last package.

Did that^ to both sides. 

 

Also gave the banjos and bleeders the same treatment I gave the adjusters. 

I did not take pics because I was busy at work doing that between jobs. 

 

Tomorrow-install master cylinder, adjust/bleed brakes, drive.

While doing everything, found that the plug for the brake switch was missing. Someone taped a piece of cardboard over the hole. 

 

Not good enough.

On the ground. Wheels torqued. Solid pedal. 

Driving The Green Machine to work tomorrow. Pedal is too tight. I'll adjust it back a little there. 

I was just too excited to throw it around my neighborhood for a bit. 

 

Really pleased. 

 

 

 

Motor swap next. But not in any rush. 

Maybe sometime after gatoland BBQ.
