Getting a little help...

With a completion date of March starting to loom in the not-so-distant future, and with kids busy with hockey and other activities, Mr. S has come in solo to complete the rest of the wiring.  A tedious job, but thanks to Mr. Gugin and some of his testing equipment, some stubborn questions have been answered, and the bike is now wired.  Working on 2 or more wiring diagrams was bound to be difficult, but Mr. G's experience sure helped out.

We were also able to benefit from a really cool hydraulic pipe expander that Minnedosa Collegiate has in their shop.  The Dime City Cycles muffler fit too snugly with the MAC headers.  A wee tweak with the pipe expander, and things now slide on and off with a near-perfect slip fit.  A clamp is next, and the final step will be to weld a muffler mount to the frame.

After that it will be a mad rush to tear the bike down for powdercoating, paint, and final assembly.  More pics to follow after the Christmas break.  Stay tuned!
