Front brakes bled. Lever still feels slightly "mushy" at the bar, although it does "stop" in its travel. Might leave it for a bit and see if there are any stubborn bubbles left in the system. Still am confident of a 100% improvement in braking power.
Headers were also wrapped to get the proper hot rod "period" look for the bike. Actually ran out of a 50' length, but Mr. S had some left over at home from another project. When we fire it up again, it will likely smoke like crazy (as noted on the instructions) as the oils burn off.
The stainless reverse megaphone muffler installed. Still a few wiring connections to tidy up, and the rear wheel is off to Transcanada Motorsports to get a new rear tube fitted... it appears to have a slow leak somewhere, and the valve stem is not the culprit. Must be a hole or pinched somewhere in the tube.
