Tommorrow rear end get ran in on jack stands, then 10 mile break in will also be able to bed the brakes as well. Hope it doesnt rain
 
Made its first offical 15.2 miles little road trip. First time on the hard road since 1986. Brakes bedded, rear end broke in, now just need to hit the millions of clutch presses for it to be broke in, well it might just be 1k, but will seem like a million. Got to give it a hour or so for the rear gears to cool and then give another ride.(edit. Delete duplicate picture)

Got all the rims on, with the qa1 conversion the tie rod had no clearance, so I clearanced the bolt. Also valve stem was placed in wrong spot(which still needs addressed with the company) and is really tight. Probably will change to a flush mount or 90° motorcycle style.
