i picked up an uncut harness on ebay for $20 a few weeks ago.  There were a few to choose from. :whisper:

It looks like the pieces that were "missing" we're actually attached to the engine. With new battery in place, it seems all lights work well except for the speedo bulb.


We took off the cylinders and found a missing base gasket, so added that to the mail list. All parts should be in by Friday. Any good recources on cam timing?

Hey guys! Quick update for ya!! We are in the final stages of bringing this baby back to life, we're just waiting on the base gasket and head gasket to get this engine back together. So far we got a new battery, new grips (finally), new clutch and brake levers (previous ones were bent due to a crash), new gauge cluster lights, and we got all of the wiring mapped out and zip-tied out of the way after we plugged everything up and tested all of the lights and electronics!! Last couple of steps are to just get this engine back in, and figure out where all of these miscellaneous bolts and screws go. All in all, we're only down about $550 and less than 10 hours of work, and this bike is almost ready to ride!!
