Run Red Run: Engine Install

After all the back and forth around possibly installing the motor to Astrid or Evie first as a test, decided to just cut to the chase and mounted the motor straight to Red.

First things first, swapped out the smaller bullet on the coil for the bigger red one.

Install itself was relatively painless, though the trick is that you have to set the rear in place before the front.  Had the coil wired up through the battery box and just made sure to pull up the slack as I slowly pushed the engine into place.

Added the top end and the exhaust.  Added the step bar so I could ride the sidewalk a few times, but really need to add the pedals to get a good feel for the ergonomics.
