    Today I Picked up the chain put oil in the engine coolent in the radiator petrol in the tank and attached jumper leads,didn't take too long I am pleased too say and the ol'e gurl fire's up and she is sounding sweet so I guess I have done something right.......

    Have ordered new blade/screen bolts,and going to make un an adapter plate too fit the new mirrors

    but today was her first time out in the sun since we started the rebuild back in April 2 months over deadline but the wait was worth it and I am still under the orignal $3500 budget

    You've done extremely well with the bike Barry, as I don't check into KB as often as I used to I didn't even know you'd bought and been working on it, Mel must be wrapped with it..

    Finished and road tested

    The Mirrors arrived today and now the bike is finished and with it being Mel's birthday tomorrow everything has worked out well (yes I did get her a pressy as well) and booked in to be revinned on the 24th of next month

    As for the budget to date It has cost $2850 so even with the cost of revinning we will still be below our orignal budget of $3500,now this has come too an end I can get back into the CB500 project come the new year
