Looks great!  I centered the wheel between the outside of the track and the nubs, I'm not sure that is "right", but it worked.

Thank you.

Dashes are done and painted.  Not perfect, but much better than they started out.

Air Box is assembled. 

Now I am trying to decide whether to remove the safety/instruction sticker or to have it replicated.

The plastic is pretty beat up.  This ended up being a mash-up from an Intruder bottom and an Invader top.

I think that this sled has now been taken apart as far as it can be.  Time to start getting things cleaned up so that they can go back together.  Like these carbs.

Carburetors are ready.  Brass was a little dull, but a bath in brasso and a ride on the buffing wheel brought out a nice shine.

Mark,

Are you going to get to complete and running before this seasons kick off?
Polishing brass inside the carburetors?  No body is going to get to see your shiny job in there.
