Thanks, I got my 2 inch longer rockers for the springer in yesterday the rest of the parts i need should be here by the end of the week. Hopefully once i get the wheels centered the rest of the build will go smooth.

I got a bunch of parts in and got the oil tank mounted between powder coating and cutting some signs. It got hot down here in Louisiana pretty quick this morning with 100% humidity.
I hope to get the seat and gas tank done tomorrow.

Got the tank mounted, i lowered the seat 2 inches I didn't like the way it looked. I will probably move the bars forward 1-2 inches.

Been kinda slow getting the rear spacers correct but finally got it lined up and got the rear brake caliper bracket tacked into place. I ordered my 1275 hammer big bore kit and emd cam cover ordered. I will send in my stock cover to hammer to get the excess milled down. I hope to get the rear fender done this week and the kick stand so i can get the doner bike on the rack and get the engine pulled.

Looking good! Probably gonna buy an 883 when I get back from deployment to have some fun with. Nothing this extensive as I don't have the skill set, but fun to watch your thread!
