Just pictures with short descriptions now - more to follow.

First was the installation of the tail light with the new tail section.  That should have been a very easy process, but it ended up being very difficult because of faults in the wiring.


Eric finishing off the light.


More work on the light - good shot of the seat though...


After the light was done we turned to other pressing issues.  Eric re-built the petcock valve.



Finally it was time to place the gas tank back into position, being careful not to scratch any paint.


Then the cafe racer got a new fuel line.


Eric bled the front brake and reconnected everything.

 

By the end of the night it started and ran well.  It is leaking a little bit of gas out of the carburetor, but that will be a pretty quick fix.  Then it's ready to ride.  Here is how it looks on the lift. 


And here I am seeing how it all feels (it feels great).
