RE: dyna project
The 110 engine is mounted, to be honest it was a much harder job than I had expected.......part of the problem is that I have zero experience working with american v twin bikes......the other problem is everything has to be exact before things will line up properly.....installing the charging system took me many tries before I got it.
The engine and trans are now locked down, I may have a clearance issue when I put the primary cover back on....but I am hoping the thickness of the gasket will add that little space that I need.
The next thing will be testing the starter to see if it has the ummmph to turn the motor, I will find that out later tonight.

I am getting very close now to being able to start the bike. I just need a coil and wire up the ignition system. I also need to make a bracket for the pipes but it should be fairly easy.

That said, I'm a software engineer, and have extensive knowledge of computer/server hardware. So the potential for me is there...just never had the opportunity. But after seeing what you've been doing, if I can start saving money again, I might want to take on a project like that.
Very impressive bro. Nicely done. Can't wait to see the finished product!

RE: dyna project
I have worked been modifying Jap bikes since I was 16.......I always tried to make my own parts, I bought a lathe and a milling machine, I prefer to make my own bars, grips and forward controls. I always wanted to build my own american v-twin, my chance came when I bought a basket case last fall.
This is a pic of a Honda VTX that I finished this spring, it won a couple show n' shines and then I sold it in July.......the money I made allowed me to contine and hopefully finish my project.
To be honest I am surprised at the simplicity of these bikes, its not all electronics that I have experienced on the Jap bikes......
