Bummer News

I recently found out my shovel motor won't be done until AFTER Daytona. I'm still waiting on the frame so it's not so bad. I really need to figure out my wheel and transmission situation. I'd like to find a four speed ratchet top trans. Anyone have or know someone that has one?

Also, I just got back from a one week vacation in Oakland, CA. It rained most of the time but I did score a bunch of sick records and a VHS copy of the Flip video "Sorry."

Cramped Quarters

Wanted to cram the car in with the bikes to avoid any falling limbs. It took a second . . . .

Glory

It wasn't as heavy as I imagined.

Making Progress

Tearing this shovelhead apart has been fun. I've been learning a lot doing so. Working on this big twin is much different than the Sportster.

I had to source a clutch hub puller from Kirby who is going to stroke this motor to 96 inches. I'll probably take the motor up to his shop this week.

I'm still trying to decide who is going to hard tail the frame for me. Irish Rich is on the top of the list hitherto. Dave gave me a lead on someone closer than Colorado to do the work.

I also had no idea that an electric impact wrench existed! I picked up one of those and made life a little easier.
