Productivity

Finally some good news. I got my ass in gear today and got some stuff done, putting the cafe racer project in to gear. Got the carburetors off to switch out the throttle cables (the old cable honestly could have snapped at any moment, time for a new one.) Sadly as I had feared, the tank seems to have acquired some sediment and the carbs seem to be in need of cleaning again after sitting in an impound yard for two weeks, then not being properly winterized... Both of those are oops's on my part. I went to the parts store and got some advice on how to put the throttle housing back together and make it bar end mirror compatible and got a new fuel filter, tomorrow hopefully I'll pull the carbs apart and clean them out, maybe adjust the floats, but probably not, get them back in and reinstall the throttle, choke etc, and get that part conquered. Clean the sediment out of the tank too and toss that back on and we could actually have a running motorcycle tomorrow afternoon... But in all honest, since what should take 1 or 2 days of hard work always ends up taking 2 weeks. Lets shoot for a running bike by mid May.
