PROJECT UPDATE!

Now that all individual parts were ready, I could (finally) assemble everything again and get the bike back on its wheels.
I rolled her outside, started it for the first time in 5 weeks and made my first test rides.

The work is not over though.
The speedometer needs to be calibrated, because at the moment it doesn't show any speed, I'll show the whole process in the next video.
The rear light isn't very big and the brake light function isn't clear enough in daylight, so I think I'll install an extra LED strip to function as a brake light only.
I left the front fender off for the time being, but I'm planning to finish that off at a later time. I won't be riding this bike in the rain so it's not going to be of much use anyway.
The brakes are quite mushy because I didn't take the time to bleed it thoroughly, it brakes allright but I want that firm grip on the lever so this will be the first thing I do.
It also ran on only 1 cylinder, but I made some quick adjustments and it seems to be better already. As soon as my mechanic has time I'll drop the bike off and let him take a good look at it.
I have an oil filter, gaskets and fresh oil waiting, so next time we get a couple of rainy days here in Belgium I'll get those installed.

Once all that is done I think I can call the project finished, then you can expect some more video's about some trips I hope to make with it this summer.
