its getting better all the time...

OK, this is gonna be a long road.  First of all, the bike is butt-ugly, and needs to be "pretty" for my wife or daughter -whoever takes a fancy to it.  It also needs to be low to the ground as my wonderful beautiful wife is somewhat vertically challenged...

I spent a lot of time trying to get the carbs to work well, and by a recent test ride, have a long way to go there.  So, I decided to play with some of my ebay wins to that it appears that I'm making progress.  The carbs are still not right, but at least its beginning to look like a Maldita should look - sassy, haughty, pretty.  I hooked up the new pretty wheels (a bit to go there to get them to fit and work right), dropped in the new solo seat, tank and bars so at least you can see it with the approximate lines it will have when finished.  Its getting better, but still a long long way to go...
