Small update for today . Safety wired all the body clips to the cage today . It took about an hour and a half . Stuck my fingers 3 or 4 times with the end of the wires and closed the safety wire pliers on my left index finger once. So the 2 stroke Gods got their blood sacrifice today so they should be happy. Damn I hate doing safety wire but if it keeps me from losing body clips good.

Next step is to start removing parts so that I can install the Reed Case . More pictures to come.

Yeah I don't know if you've ever used or seen Safety wire pliers but they have a built in cutter for cutting off the extra wire . That was the part I caught the side of my finger in . I should have kept on squeezing for a second longer . Then it would have just taken a chunk out of my finger instead of 2 cuts for the price of one. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That would hurt! I try to avoid foriengh objects near my nuts, the last time was I was kicked in the nuts hard 9-10 yrs ago from then I've been very careful lol
 
It's starting to look like a mean little Braapppper . Mounted the Expansion chamber head pipe( with head studs lock washers and drilled nuts for safety wiring), The Carb (WB1107) ,Bartolone Velocity stack and DT1 filter and outerwear to go with it .
