    Huge day for me today!

    Yahweh tribute bike is eventually running on her own steam!
    Got air leak somewhere on carbs causing hanging idle, needs carb adjustments, clutch adjustments and front brake is pulsating.

    Here are the vids:

    :p seat is secured by 6 bolts.

    So before I install the seat I wanted to make sure it actually runs.

    Buffed the tank today, trimmed fuel and vacuum hoses to appropriate lengths and finally fitted the seat!

    Also adjusted clutch and rear brake. Going to give it shakedown run tomorrow. Just for the fun of it!

    Some quick pics:

    Thanx! Was my first base coat spray attempt.
    Not perfect, but OK.

    First time silver leafing as well.

    The point was always to do as much as I could myself and I am chuffed.

    Not a show bike, not an award winner, but a rideable, enjoyable bike built on a tight (blown) budget. :)
