Not to hijack but have you got the Springer front end on yet? Any pics? I have been anxiously awaiting the new mods on the beast.

NOT A PROB. I just reverse the ratchet cover. 1 up, 3 dn. Ol' drag racers trick.
NOW, here's where it can get interesting.
The Cap'n is reversed with ONLY a rear brake.
78 is 'normal', with basically ONLY a front brake. (Guy I bought it from, put on a fancy "WRONG" rear master cylinder.)
ADD to that 'combination', a 56 yr old brain. Do you see a 'small' prob here?
