Thanks for the compliments. Everything is going to paint and powder coat Friday. I will be out of town all next week but, things are supposed to be ready by next Friday for reassembly. Fingers crossed. Still not happy with the apes. I've bought two bars and neither work well. Can't seem to find any that don't twist your wrist out. I want some that your wrist stays straight along your arm line. Had a set like that on an Iron Head I built several years ago but, can't remember the brand or where I got them. Anyone have any ideas?
Got the bike taken apart. Tins are with the painter. Figured I would do some maintenance since it is apart anyway. Instead of using thru bolts for the tank and seat, I'm drilling and tapping for button head bolts. Also found a great spot to mount a small horn. Added a brake light flasher from Super Bright LED's, $7.00 with shipping, can't beat that. Hope to have it all back together by next Saturday.
Finally got my tins back from the painter after a week delay. I was out of town working all this week anyway so, it didn't hurt anything. Made a few other changes also.
Got it all back together this evening and here it is.
