I worked for about 10 hours today, but wasn't able to get to starting the bike. The crank threads on the ignition side are a little boogered, so I am going to order a left hand thread die to clean them up. I got a ton done even without starting the bike. All I have left is to put the ignition on, connect it, add the radiators, and put on the pipe and silencer. Then's it's out for a break in, and back on Craigslist. The best part is this counts as selling a bike, which I assured the very patient Mrs. Umberto I would do. :-D

Left hand thread on flywheel crank threads?
umberto:
Good catch. I misread the service manual where it said the puller has left hand threads. Good thing my die order hasn't shipped yet. Thank you Dave!
reklessj:
Man Umberto you move fast!!! She is coming along nicely!!! Cool project
umberto:
Thank you reklessj! It was a really frustrating week at work, so I really needed a day in the garage. Once I got rolling, I just didn't want to stop. Thankfully Mrs. Umberto is a saint and allows me to do stuff like work on a dirt bike for ten hours. I probably need to get her some flowers just in case. :-D
