                Petemang!

                Haven't gotten a chance to work on it much here lately, spending time with family before the deployment. Got a used tire to replace the roached one that went flat in that photo. Most likely, I will change that tomm, and roll it back into the carport for the next 4 months that I will be gone.

                Stay tuned. I am going to order parts here and there so I can do the 5 speed when I return!

                  What are you gonna do for the clutch setup? I mean the pedal assembly...

                    Hoping to source/build some. I thought I had Freshmeat's old pedal assembly up there at Scott's but I couldb't find them last time I was up there.

                    I plan on running the rosehill performance hydraulic clutch kit. It's pretty legit!
