The Rebel chopper didn't make it to Motoblot....

Got it to run but the carbs(which I didn't touch because they looked so good) were bleeding fuel out and the bleeder screw was stuck so I couldn't bleed the front brakes. As well as a couple other things that made it not ready for the road.

Failure is a cruel teacher and sometimes it stings a little bit more. As a one man shop, I regularly bite off more than I can chew. Sometimes it works out and sometimes I take the hit.

Don't know for sure but I would imagine no one else had a bike with so many parts designed and fabricated themselves including the front end, hardtail, foot controls, fugazi oil tank(to hide the electrical), handlebars, sissy bar and bracketry. All of which I created and brought to life.

The bike was basically in pieces on Monday. I spent the week wiring it up, finish welding and fabbing all the parts. A mountain of work with no reward. But that's ok because I just have some mechanical stuff to iron out and this chopper will ride.

My poor wife . She puts up with all this nonsense.

And I don't have a pin out diagram for the 5 wire ignition...

Hopefully I'll figure it out before burning up the rest of the wiring

19 years of marriage with the most beautiful, honest, wonderful, understanding, funny and intelligent woman ever made (with the best laugh on the planet.) How she puts up with my nonsense I don't know...
