that bikes bad to the bone. never ran an auto advance on mine but i know they work good. looks like you know your way around the tool box. cool pic of you and your dad. i hope you have more.

 

Hardheaded I look at the prices these dealerships charge don't get me wrong they know what they are doing but I hate paying someone for something I am willing to try myself been lucky so far this the first motor I have ever taken apart and down to bare metal and put back together. The way I looked at it was if it came off it should go back lol . Lots reading,internet searches, videos on newer bikes and you tube figure I'll find the truth through trial and error lol . I'm putting together a small album when I go through more pics of dads original bike and my current evolution of it I'll post more we sure had fun on those country roads in North Carolina when I was growing up on it..

 

That looks awesome. I love the old photo too. Good look. Can't wait to see a video of it running.

 

Yea I'll video the first crank then I figure out how to post it lol.... I can't wait just a matter of weeks now ...

 

I finally got the wiring figured out down hill for now...




New throttle wire working good





Gotta get spacers for my fat Bob tanks



Got all the switches working

 

Sounds good, if you do ever need a 6 into 4 remember you get a 10% HDForums discount.

 

Why do you need spacers for the tanks? They are designed to go flat against the frame and mounts. If you are having problems getting them to do that take a look at your wiring or cable routing. Most times it's just a matter of shifting some wires around.

 

She looks sound I'll video the start up and post it soon.





They fit perfectly



Got the tank rear studs mounted on the fat Bob tanks

 

I finally got her running thanks to the Rses right side electric start by Russ awesome product


Now I have a solid running pan





Rses starter is awesome ran up to temperature for the first time in over30 years

 

That is a beauty and one heck of a way to honor your Dad. Post a vid of it running if you can!
