My goal was to have the engine and tranny all put together and in the chassis by the end of January. I didn't quite make that goal due to all the issues I ran into but I'm close. To get the fork to work correctly I had to take a bunch of measurements and re-adjust the fork pivot which I hope I have correct now...it didn't work right at the "standard" height. Now I have at least 1 3/4" travel at the slave end and 7/8" at the TOB end and enough room for 1/2"+ of adjustment at the slave.
I have the tranny prepped and primed with DPLF and plan to shoot the paint tomorrow. I'm going to try to get the engine and tranny in, headers modified and coated, swaybar links and all brackets powder coated, and the entire chassis done by the end of February.
