      Well Monk. I don't know your wife so I can't attest to the accuracy of that but I will admit to being impatient to see the progress on this bike. Isn't she a beauty? I am very impressed with Blower's skills to pound out that tank and tail. I don't want to rag on him but I do want him to know that I very much admire his vision and skills.

      I guess I'm guilty but isn't that worth a couple- three bumps?

                It?s been a long day in the garage today.
                Get the old steering lock out, modified the new lock, modified triple tree axle for the steering lock and fighted with electronics [!wall]
                After two hours thinking and searching, I found one cable in the fuse box not get contact.
                It?s fixed now and only blinkers, horn, brakelight and gauges needs to connect.

                New ignition switch:


                Test fitting tank and seat:

                              I?m using the oem 4 to 2 exhaust. Only the mufflers are handmade.

                                I was close to start up the bike to night, but was out of fuses.
                                I blow the last one, when testing rear light wire. It touches the accidentally the frame.





                                The front brake reservoir is only temporary. The fuel tank needs some trimmining and then
                                painting the name & stripes.
                                Licence plate holder and chain guard needs to fabricate and finish the rear brake fastener.

                                Anyway I?m rather happy, how it looks
