My 78a2 redo was created by ronnieV

So after a little bump in the road health wise I'm happy to say thanks to the man upstairs and great doctors I'm feeling much better,stronger every day and they're saying cancer free. Thank you Lord. So my son and I have been slowly getting back to work on the bike. I ended up ordering a reproduction wiring harness because the original was ,well,old. We installed it,and with any luck next is setting the timing because I installed a dyna Ignition and coils. Once finished I will post competed video.

I was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad you got through your treatment. I've been stage 4 since 2015. Sounds like you are back on track to finish up your bike so you can start riding it.

So,it's apart ,again,for the umpteenth time ,this time for the new wiring harness .While it was apart I addressed the valve cover which my son never finished polishing, in his defense he works alot. So I tried something different, i painted it with some polished parts,what you guys think?
