I loaded it up this morning, its nice having a bike that I can lift by myself and put into the back of a pickup bed (and a tall one at that), in anticipation of getting a chance to take it  out for its first ride as a new bike (not counting the time I road the bare frame and wheels down a hill for gits n' shiggles). Provided of course I could get the right size jets from either the local small engine mechanic or one of the several motorcycle dealerships in the next town over. No one had them in stock, so I decided to get around to mounting my el cheapo mower muffler and to replacing the faulty on/off switch. I also trimmed the plate that the switch is mounted in a little bit for aesthetic purposes.

I'll do a full write up on the muffler job tomorrow complete with lots of pictures and instructions in case anyone else wants a cheap fix to the their muffler woes be them rusted, busted, or inexplicably impregnated with a pressure washer tip. But for now, some end result pictures.
