OK, so it's update time. Adam and I have been working our tails off trying to get this bike back together. Well, during disassembly, someone...(adam) lost 2 valve shims. We are at the point now where the head is on, we have checked the valve spacing, now Adam has to order new valve shims, approx 5-6 because some of them got mixed up as well during disassembly...not to mention that we resurfaced the valves. So, what is left??? Well, once the shims are in, install the cams, put on the coolant hoses, the rest of the ignition system, exhaust, carbs, put the extra parts somewhere where we will find them later, then fire it up! Cross your fingers, should be running by Monday...ish.

When are you going to post a pic of the Pathfinder with mud on its roof?

Well, I havn't had a chance to take the pathfinderinto some mud. I want to get the drive train completely checked out. There may be something wrong with the diff, not sure, the quad needs a little TLC before it's worthy of pictures..

Extra parts!!! those aren't extra parts. They are design elements for something that I will describe after I see what's left. Besides, the lower weight of the bike will make it faster...
