I have a minor clearance issue.  I'm going to fix this problem tomorrow.  Luckily I have not made it far into the reassembly process.

I had to grind both sides.  Not a lot, it only took about a minute once I had the shaft out.

I'm glad you decided to grind it, don't forget to check the spindle bearing while it's off

Me too.  Thank you for your input! 

Good call.  I don't have the hubs on yet, so tomorrow I will pop the spindles off and throw some grease on those bearings.

I've had a good weekend progress wise, so far. 

The front lights are wired and ready to go.  The rear light is wired on a separate switch so I can control it independently of the fronts.  The tail/brake lights are wired, but I only have 1 mounting bracket so I will need to get another to mount the other light.  The Firestik antenna has been mounted to a spring and connected to a working CB via a 3' coax cable (still need to tune SWR).  I also made a cradle on top of the fuel cell to hold the recovery bag that I won at the 'Q (Thanks Jeff @ Crown!).
