          Yikes! This build is way over budget now! Good body and paint isn't cheap. Still worth it however. To me anyway.

            Been a while..

            Just busy with life and the issues it throws at you.

            Received a undamaged chain guard this time. Installed quite a while ago.

            Before.



            After.



            Ordered these on May 12, received yesterday. These are not in stock but made to order. Part of the delay was quality control as CMS refused them. These are perfect.

            Couple of pics.













            Still searching for a right side exhaust cover. Paint is still not done. Getting a little pized about it too. Still have carburetors to rebuild. Won't get much done due to the heat but would like all the parts here at home.

            Onward...slowly.

                    As per our PM no, single wall. Around $550 shipped from Netherlands. 2-1/2 months to get.

                      Been a month but...

                      Other half has been ill off and on for 4 months and with the heat there was just no shop time. Weather is cooling and I can't wait!

                      I did finally get the paint back. That took forever also. Just shy of 4 months but he knocked $150 off the bill.

                      Fuel tank.





                      Did a little mockup on the rear cowl, still have latch work. Fuel sending unit and petcock on the tank. Front fender mounted.

                        Been a while so I wanted to post some progress pictures. Still have carburetor work and tune to do.

                        pics in a bit, PB problems.
