Got almost all the parts now. Just waiting on a few more to rebuild the engine. Lately I've just been cleaning, polishing each part from the bike individually. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

[Redordead89]

That's the way Lovespeed! One part at a time allows plenty time for detail!

Update on the progress. Finished up all the parts individually, put engine together, all that. Got the frame back also! Here's a pic of it.
Also put a lot of the bike back together yesterday so here it is now:
It looks so good!!!

And now for the big question... The back wheel on the right side there's a gap between it and the swing arm:

And I can slide the wheel from side to side on the back which is not good! I know something is missing that holds it in place but I can't figure out what it is. I looked on the bike bandit diagram and I'm not sure which one of those pieces it is that I'm missing.

Looks good. Missing wheel spacer usually

From this microfische do you have parts 2, 16+17?

Lol

You move pretty fast. You may not have the proper collar. I think that I would be taking it apart and making sure it had the center spacer and all three bearings in it.

Here's what I have

yep I think it's the spacer I'm missing. I'll buy a new one. Also I was about to put my carburetor back on and I noticed that my needle is very slightly bent. Not a lot but if you look close you can see a curve. Should I replace it?

Yes it may stick or not seat

Ok I'll look around and see if I can find one. I'm not sure if it was bent before or if it got bent after I took the bike apart. Either way a new one will help it run better.
