That's a cool color that you picked. I've never been a fan of silver cases but that looks really good together, can't wait to see it together. What kind of dog is that? I like him, looking for my first.

Little bit of a step forward today, couple more checks on the list at least.. Got all my powder coated parts back today and they look freaking great! Inner/outer primary, side and top trans covers, rocker covers, pushrod tubes, tappet blocks, cam cover, air cleaner, new shiter lever and foot peg mounts. Oh and while we're posting pictures of our sons, here's my boy.. He's not as much help as your guys kids haha
Loving the black on the gray
This is gonna be killer I can't wait to get the primary back together
Happy new year guys be safe tonight, I think it's time for a torpedo..

Not much to update on lately unfortunately. One word of advice.. Don't rip your bike apart 2 weeks before Christmas. The world stops turning for the last 2 weeks of the year and the first week of the new year.. Just been kinda tinkering here and there with getting all the bolts cleaned up and wire wheeled. Pretty much done with that so I've started chasing all the holes on the powder coated parts. Crazy how much sand gets into those holes. Chase, blow out with air, solvent tank, hot water and then more air.. Lots of fun haha.
Tap tap tappy
My s&s "A" motor stand came in today.. Not very exciting without something to put in it haha
Going to drill out the breather drain back holes out to 1/8" and taper them on top with a bigger drill bit. I'll post some pics of that when I do it.. Everyone likes pics

If you have access to a thread chaser its better to use than a tap. Taps will take a little metal out of the threads where as a thread chaser will only remove the crap in the threads.
