Thinking of taking this thing to Cars and Coffee tomorrow morning. I siphoned enough gas out to get it below the sending unit for now so there should be no leaking issue. Now is a good time to install the sending unit wiring so I can monitor that and make sure I don't run it out of gas. I'll probably do that today, maybe swap out the seat and get the hood painted/back on.
Some kind soul replied to my thread about my floppy brake pedal and claims he had the same issue with the same M/C and solved it by ordering a pack of O-rings. He's sending me a few so I may not have to pull that bracket and get crafty after all. It's a lot better with the bushing I put in but it still had some movement when I hit the gas. Still plan on going with a hydroboost setup, that'll probably be one of my main winter projects. The plumbing is the only hard part but I think I have that covered. Just going to get everything in place, mockup the high pressure lines with my left over fuel line and then just buy them pre-assembled. The standard braided lines are easy enough to make but the high pressure ones can be a bitch. I touched the power steering lines the last time it was out and they were HOT after a short drive so I'm thinking a power steering cooler is probably going to be a good idea regardless.

Gonna try to enjoy driving it for the little bit of decent weather we have left this year so nothing major until it's freezing and I'm not sweating my ass off in the garage.
