The waiting game...

I haven't been able to do much on the bike as of late.  My rebuilt brake caliper is pretty ready to go so I just need to swing by the race shop this weekend and pick up a stainless line - fortunately a buddy knows a place that'll cut them and fit them with the right banjo fittings for about $30 - helluva deal.  Then I'll get to learn about brake bleeding, which I hear is not the most enjoyable job out there, but I'm looking forward to being able to say I did it.

I just placed the order for two mini-gauges from Dime City Cycles - $134 total.  I went for the white-faced versions as they just look more 'classic' to me.  Added bonus is they'll easily bolt on to the old fairing mounts right on the triple tree so no messing around with custom setups.  They should look like this when they're mounted up.  

The headlight/turn signal kit I ordered from Speedmoto Company just came in last night, but they forgot to tap out the side mounts to the larger 10mm thread necessary for the turn signals to mount.  To their credit, they're sticking a new bucket in the mail to me today with an return shipping label so I should have that one by mid next-week as well, but it would've been nice to get that mounted up ahead of the gauges.

So I can do the brakes this weekend but that's about it.  Oh well, more time to think about what I want to do with the rest of the bike I suppose.  It's all been a good learning process to this point.  I'm realizing to temper my expectations at every step of the way.  This isn't a 'bolt-on' process, it's a 'make it work' process, so patience is the key - but I can't do anything until those parts arrive at my door.

All that said, when they do arrive I'm like a kid at Christmas - gotta love that feeling!
