With two students today, we had the opportunity to do a bit more work, now that the forks were back and more work needed to be done! Step one was swapping out the fork boots. The lowered front end meant the "gaitor" style boot we had were a bit too long for the fork sliders. At the same time, the hole that the rear brake lever pivoted in was cleaned up as some powder coat got in there, making the pedal action a bit stiff.
Next step was to install the remaining engine bolts, cleaned up by Mr. S on his wire wheel at home. A 2-person job! Engine is now securely in place.
Some of the electrical components were installed next. Battery and fuse tray, as well as the keyed ignition, speedometer, and headlight.
Last step for today was to flip the right rear shock, which was accidentally installed in reverse last time.
