Straight forward afternoon at the garage going through parts one-by-one. It gets a bit ridiculous spending half an hour cleaning and polishing the rear brake switch, which sets a precedent, so now you got to clean and polish every little bit. But that’s the precedent we set, and this bike may never see this kind of attention or refurb again in its lifetime. But I’m not being super anal…just minor anal. I cringe at some of the spots or gunk left—I can see how collector show guys get obsessive—but I’ve got a lot of bikes in my future to get to, so I’m not going to spend years on my first restoration.
