Got the Clutch Cable anchored,but still not sure about adjusting it.I would think that when the Pedal gets pushed down I should be able to spin the drive Sprocket by hand which I can't.But I also made up the small Seals for the Carbs.Had to disassemble the Sliders to put them on.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson

You're gonna have a clutch PEDAL? Damn, how did I miss that? Good for you, I've ridden a panhead with a foot clutch, only problem I had was when I stopped at the cafe. I had never done that before, on anything, and when I was getting off, the back of my leg bumped the shifter into first gear.
All I could do to keep it from thumpin up the steps and thru the front door.
Cool ride tho, I think you'll really like it.

I had to make a new Oil Tank.I liked the other alot more,but this one has way less fittings & it holds more.Should have the Oil Lines run by the Weekend.Then I think all I need to do after that is figure out this stupid Clutch & a Kick Stand.
