finally back up and running again. put a "new" seat in (read ancient fiberglass M&M racing seat in rough shape). forgot how much "fun" it is to scratch build and fit a seat and support frame. 5 point harnesses are in. Idler sprocket was put in last week, broke the master yesterday. found i was way off alignment wise, so i fixed that. Still have an issue though, the drive and main sprockets are off by about a quarter inch with no way to adjust unless i shift the engine over. Not too much of a problem until i get to the rear tensioner.
New seat is up higher than the last one--may change my rear shock position to soften it and cut my height back there. lowered the front suspension/clearance by about 1.5 inches and it felt much better than my first runs with it. also reclined the bucket more.
It's sweet having a set of 5 points locking me in tight! pics tomorrow, gotta go to work ...
