Day 7
 \\;
Got my oil tank and battery box back from powdercoating...
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
both wheels have been completely cleaned up and polished with my trusty Nev R Dull
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
here you can see what my seat bungs look like after a little work with a rat tail file
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
decided to lightly open up the end plate so that the rear brake caliper has a little more room.
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
 \\;
I'm now at the point where I am now waiting on back ordered parts.[]
Gas tank and rear fender/struts are almost done at the body shop. \\; as soon as my springer front end gets in, I will mount it up, so as to lay out my fork stops, lay out the bracket for my Wire Plus seat post mounted billet switch and breaker box, and my front seat mount....then off to powdercoat! \\; A few days and my eBay donor bike with the bent frame but perfect motor etc. will be here as well. \\; So far, so good. \\;
