Ta daaaa…
My first build. Done and ready for spring. Super happy with the way it came out. One year since I started. More money than I’ll ever confess to and what I consider an “irresponsible” amount of time spent on it. The patrons on this forum were invaluable, the next best thing to having someone with experience in my garage. After hanging around this forum for the past year I’m really impressed with the patience of the veterans. All the noobies ask the same old questions over and over again and you all keep helping us in between your more technical posts.
I’d like to give a shout-out to a few members that came to my aid …
Jim Schmidt -for various technical help all along the way. How do you find the time?
Hobot- for helping me solve the rear wheel wild goose chase the PO left me with. And general encouragement. I can actually understand your posts now and have come to the conclusion “you use yer tong perdier than a $20 hore” –the late Slim Pickens.
Beng and texasSlick - for their electrical advice.
Mike996 – choke advice and the lack of it’s necessity.
Biscuit- helped me understand the exhaust nut assembly. Why was that hard?
Powereng03- for selling me his uncles steel tank at a fair price. Fixed up real nice.
Rvich, B+Bogus and Douglass Harroun – helped me make my case with my painter to get what I asked for. Came out perfect, much prettier than the photo.
And a whole community of good intensions and advice.
Now if I just had some nice weather, my motor needs a few miles before I can ride like I mean it.
