Put on a slightly nicer saddle, blue tape, but otherwise it was just a matter of cleaning up the original parts. Oh yeah, other than removing the pedals from the cranks (done by use of a heavy vise, a work table bolted to the concrete floor, one 15mm wench, and a fork tube from a Honda CBR900RR for extra leverage), everything came apart easily.

Gotta get one of those fork tubes to add to the tool collection at the home shop.

Now that it's together, there's the matter of final adjustments. Which won't happen this weekend, as Patti and I leave for Johnstown (my old home town) for the Outlaws M/C Thanksgiving party tomorrow night. Hopefully will have it done by the middle of next week, will have updated pictures posted by the end of next weekend.

Thanks to everybody for the advice. You brought up a lot of stuff I'd have never thought of. Being bigger than East Hill occasionally has it's disadvantages.
