The brembo will fit the NCY kit BTW..... with the right mount plate of course. I will fill you guys in after I get a few rides in on it.
its even worst that i lower my headlights bracket

Just cut all the tape off my harness to get a partial wire tuck going... it's amazing how much water is in there. Stinky musty water.

Someone wanna tell me which color wire goes on which side of the ignition coil? The service manual doesn't say. I did right it down but I lost the paper that had it all written down on

Green wire to the green side of the coil, black/yellow stripe wire to the black side?

It's because they think your cute Thanks for the help BTW.


Got a lot accomplished: Harness is all connected and tightened up at the engine, modded the intake (short one small filter), re-jetted the carb to 80 (main), relocated PCV to top of carb, coolant reservoir/fuel pump/filter/tank is on and hosed-in the harness, throttle + brake cable routed, chipped my paint with vise grips, and god knows what else.

My goal is to be RUNNING by the end of the weekend, ride-able when my bars get here.
