GREAT NEWS
IT'S OFFICIAL
I have functional front brakes pressure tested. I have functional rear brakes now, being pressure tested. yu know when you hold pressure overnight to make sure no leaks, so far no leaks, pressure at the pedal and lever. no rolling test yet.
next I reinstall the main stay, connect the electrical, then reinstall the body and seat.
at that point im waiting on clutch parts and finished clutch repair.
1 day to install body. 1 day for clutch after getting parts.
then JOY is back on the road.
I am so glad I was right about my friend over tightening the brake lines. the new ones tightened properly are not leaking.
pics soon of joy with her new body on.

The over night pressure on test is a good one I have used for years
Not only for checking leaks, but it holds for a last bleed off before a test ride

You can always bleed again any time

I gotta say (and I'll deny it if it's ever repeated ...) I'm kind of digging the two tone pink look.
why do they steal
I lost my helper why do they steal?
I did get the radiators on and filled. I got the main stay on and I can connect the wiring myself I hope. the body I have to have help with, so im on hold again. here is a pic of how far I got before I caught him stealing from me.
So sorry to hear that. Are you going to report him?

THANK YOU ALL
THANK YOU ALL
I am grateful for the support and concern. I am currently more determined now. I have the main wire plugs clean, routed and ready to go together. I will do those in the morn and the vents. I have an old friend coming marrow to help with the lower body. we will see how far I get. the body usually goes on quick.
no more help
I no longer have reliable help, so I cant finish. im ready to put on the lower body. im so close and yet so far.
I will update when I get something done. at this point I don't know when that will be.

That's sad when people have to steal. God will send you someone to help you complete the trike. I like the two tone pink I see so far, excellent job. At least one of us got the pink trike.

You have been doing great so far. Keep up the good work.
work today called for rain, 2 broken people hurting from the weather cant get much done.
my clutch master and slave came today completely assembled and read to install.
the friend available today is usually only available on Saturdays.
Hydraulics work
I could not sit here and not try to install the new clutch parts, after all they are basically plug and play.
so GOOD NEWS
I have a working clutch and im getting better using the vacuum bleeder.
im hoping I can get help soon with the lower body, things to line up and plug in. im only able to do so much and installing the clutch wore me out. I should be able to finish the rest by my self if I have to.
