      4 hours of seat stripping, skim coating the small rusty pits with bondo and sanding. Then took the sprocket cover outside to start polishing it and saw that the lower front corner was snapped off..cant win for loosing somedays!!!

      Wire wheel on the angle grinder to clean up the foam side of the pan. Had some pretty good divits in it but thats all gonna be covered by the foam anyways. Still one really solid pan though.

        Fresh from the box..

        Vance and Hines 4 into 1 arrived today. Had to go get new bolts and got it all mounted up. Looking like one heck of a SWEET SWEET ride now.

          Love the Vance and Hines look, I just got a set for the sons bike and they came with black coloured header bolts. Can I please ask why you got new bolts, was it because of the colour?

            There wasnt any hardware with them that i saw in the box and the other original ones were all rusty and pitted so new bolts were in order.

              Put new shrink tubing on the left hand switch leads and ran the harness down to the proper area. Then put the coils in and zip tied everything nice and neatly.

              Goona do some more this weekend after I get the cam cover rehabbed and painted. Then thats pretty much it and I can go for a after build restart.

                    It's a good feeling getting to this point, eh, Chuck? It's been cool watching the process. You've done a nice job on this S. Anxious for the fire up..

                      Me too Larry. Aaron has your pics with the measurements and he was over last night with a note pad, camera, and tape measure to do even more study.

                      Should have the body kit back soon. Gonna get the cam cover done today and Sunday will be fire it up day. Gonna run it thru several heat /cool cycles with increasing heating time to slowly bake the engine paint and avoid any bubbling. Gotta do this step patiently...

                        What's the plan for the paint?

                        Comment


                          Painter is shooting the tins this afternoon far as I know. Got an issue with the decal kit though..only has the black stripe in it. My Cooley has the black and white stripes as one decal which is then cleared over. Some sorting with this kickup and then proceed.
