I used to run up that a way, a lot. Had a buddy that lived in Crozet. Lemme know what yer looking for. I live about mile and a half from exit 150 on 81.

Sunny and 50 here today, Drug the engine outside and gave it a scub-a-dub. 32 years of road junk is a thrill to get off.

Henry, I can not wait to see the "after" pictures. I do not doubt that it will be something totally perfect!

Tapered neck bearings showed up in the mail today. Started looking at making a neck stem for the springer and couldnt resist setting it up there just for giggles. Yeah, better start looking for ball fields to turn the thing around in.

I haven't checked this thread in a month or so. Really nice work you're doing. It's going to be a real head-turner.

Thanks Billy. Going to take me a little while to re-machine that springer though. It'll get there!

[midnightcafe]

nice project you've got coming along. gonna be watching this one!

62 here today, so outside she went! Finished mudding up the frame and blew a couple coats of primer on the frame. Stripping the tank tomorrow and deciding how much Im cutting off the rear fender.

70 today, made it shiny!

[Henryinva]

Started rehashing the old beat to death springer. Made a new neck stem and upper tree for it. Bushings and spring rods are next on the list.

[Henryinva]

Made two spring rods for the springer. Made the nuts a little heavier duty and looking a little nicer. Bushings and building the rockers would be next up.

[Henryinva]

Got back to work on the springer components. Made some rocker bushings and spring guides for the lower springs. The smaller diameter is a press fit into the holes I opened up on the rear legs lower tree, so they will bush the oversize holes and keep the spring rods guided..

Rolled her outside today for a few pics. One pic rule sucks though!
