Well the Bird hard tail came in and looks great. Also got all the stuff to get the motor back together. Now just need to get out in the garage with a few hours and finish cleaning parts!

Cleaned the crank out and found it was completely blocked! That will lock a bike up for sure. Got the crank built and rods back on with new standard size big end bearings.

My plan is to have it ready for Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival. I will be very busy with other things in the weeks ahead but if i did my math right i will have 5 work weeks to get her done!
