I'm looking forward to getting her back so that I can continue with planned improvements, and will post pics as I proceed.
Thanks for the update beautiful springer you have. Kind of wish mine was stock when's first bought it

I trailered her home this afternoon, with just 12 miles on the rebuild.

Now to chip away at the break-in before getting into wiring my bars, replacing tires and installing the black tins.

Is the bike still broke?
Why did you trailer it home instead of riding it?


Looks good BTW.

Dead tags & the indy shop is 1.5 hours away (100 miles) ... too far to walk.

The bike runs great.

Leaky base gaskets shouldn't matter on a ct unless the rings went missing completely.
