Hello everyone,
I talked to “Shop Teacher Bob” a couple of days ago and he got started on a couple of items I needed machined up. In the picture you can see a cardboard mockup of a new oil tank, I’ll have to order the bungs for the fittings and the bolts and the sheet metal, and “Bob” said he could build it for me. Part of the price for putting on the electric start kit.
I repaired the wiring in the right side handlebar and ordered two new switches for the left side with wiring and got those fed through the bar and mounted.
I had bought a repop springer fender for $20, to see if it would fit on the hydraulic front end, it was too wide by an inch. I put a piece of one inch tape down the middle and used a cutoff wheel and took out the inch. I tacked it back together and stuck it on there and I’m actually pretty happy with how it fits. That’s just a tire sort of centered in the opening, I took my wheels and tires to an H.D. dealer and had them mounted and balanced. They’re ready to be picked up, which will be next week sometime. Then, I’ll have a roller!
Have to get a hold of the engine guy next week and see where he’s at. I have a lot of welding to do, and some wiring I can do before the engine comes back.
The plan is to get it running and driving, then take it apart for painting and maybe some chroming or rechroming, and then( hopefully) final assembly.
Well, I think that’s all for now.
Talk to you soon,
TVI
P.S. I figured out the picture thing again, what a pain in the ass!!
