Finally...the bike (aka "Dusty") is done

As with all builds there were a few issues to resolve.  Leaky seals for the most part but they were resolved fairly easily.  One that was a little puzzling was the bike would not stop running after the ignition was switched off.  Turned out the coil was retaining enough energy to keep firing the bike!  Who would have thought?   However, incorporating a "kill" switch into the coil circuit solved the problem.  Also, the "hi temp" clear paint applied to the exhaust pipes wasn't so hi temp and promptly burned a hideous shade of brown.  Off to the glass beading shop we went with the pipes and $18.00 later the pipes were again a nice clean metal color.  A careful application of flat black header paint good to 2000 degrees resulted in some nice looking pipes and the paint truly is "hi temp".  So after nearly a year, the pile of rusty, dirty parts has been completely transformed.
