I have some pics and updates scattered about, decided to consolidate to one thread. Still a work in progress, will be updated as completed.
Descriptions for pics:
Bike: this is the frame prior to any mods, and before i got the stand. it's a pain in the rear to work on these things on the floor.
Stand_1 & 2: much better. rear wheel removed so that i could measure the hub and enlarge the drive sprocket appropriately.
Sprocket_hole_1 & 2: this is how i figured dead center on the sprocket, not sure that it worked 100%, seems like its about 1/16th off. the drill press (referenced later) and hole saw. LOW rpms are required for cutting this type of metal, i learned this after about 4 hours, a bunch of smoke, and one detoothed hole saw later.
Hardware_1, 2 & 3. new stainless allens acquired for the engine, as well as new studs cut to length.
Engine_1 & 2: covers and head removed for painting.
Springer_1, 2 & 3: springer fork pre and post install. you will notice that the fender supports are not attached yet, i am in the middle of making a bracket that allows them to be bolted down securely. during my last attempt i accidentally wrapped my finger around the above drill press, ouch, so build will be slow until it heals. (i have pics, but will spare you.)
Painted_Sprocket: Got it back from paint this morning, turned out sweet. he is currently painting the cylinder head, engine covers, tensioner brackets and engine mounting hardware. should be done saturday, will post.
