Got the rest o the holes chased. Damn are those shock mount holes a pain. Also got the rear red fender sanded and the first coat of paint on. It's a non abrasive semi gloss wrinkle. It's basically a truck bed coating. It's rad and I have used it on fenders and other parts for a long time that I don't want professionally painted. Also my new manual has moved into my thinking room (bathroom).
If anyone has some rad stickers feel free to send them to me. I am going to sticker the entire oil tank on this build. Should add some color and offset the chrome
Got some more done today
I took the old bike apart and robbed the motor and tranny for the new bike
And apparently I am going to need a new tranny plate. I used this on my rigid but that bike was a four speed frame. Bolts don't line up. So tomorrow I am going to try and pick one up

I guess I could but because the holes would be closes to one another it has the possibility of moving causing bad things to happen. I would rather get the right one rather than ghetto rig stuff. I did buy one today and attempt to put the trans in but apparently the one I got had offset. So back it went and I will have to order one on Tuesday through a shop
Got the rear wheel mounted up and spaced. On the downside apparently my last brake wilwood brake caliper took a 10.5 inch rotor and now I need an 11.5. Also still waiting on the transmission plate to come in so I can really get more work done.
