The governor removal was a why not moment, the engine was lying on the table, I had a beer, I took it off, I really don't for see blowing the little feller up, and again I m just looking to tootle around the neighborhood not break any land speed records, lol.
I played with the clutch guard and riveted an old license plate onto it, I haven't decided if I like it or not yet, I have been using old bits and pieces on the bike where I can.
The only hole needing drilled in the frame was for the rear brake, the front had an existing hole for the brake assembly, the brakes are Tektro, hooked into a single throw lever for front and back.
Man the thing looks beat up in the pics, the camera flash on all that black is like a black light at a Holiday Inn,
it needs a good wipe down. I used old lions head furniture brass for the bar ends.
I didn't care for the round speedo and picked up an old Dorcy, a little leather and silver conchos to tame the cables.
I also used old brass furniture claw feet for hub covers.
One small screw on top, the bottom is slotted to fit around the fender support and a small piece of rubber filling the bottom space, solid as a rock, easy to remove.
Cable ties are leather with silver dollars, quarters, buffalo nickels, and a fifty cent piece for good measure.
