Front end installed

We finished installing the front end, minus the handle bars.  Followed a few suggestions on what to do with the castellated nut, we tightened it until the turning the forks were binding just a little, then backed the nut off until there was very little binding left.

That will be one of the first nuts I check once he starts riding again!  Hate to have it come loose, although it shouldn't with the top triple clamp sitting on it.

The paint job turned out to be a little more orange than we thought, compared to the new fork protectors.  It ok though, it still looks really good.  I couldn't be happier with how it has turned out so far.

We are pretty much going to be on hold until after Christmas.  We are running out of parts and we will see if Santa brings anything...Hopefully he will, I want to see this bike done and running again!  Until next time, have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
