Not too much going on, haven't seen any parts except for the seat hinge from biltwell. Rear brake bracket was cut and mounted, chain cut and mounted. Decided to rip my forks apart for lowering springs and while they are apart I might as well just powder coat the forks. Then figured why not just powder coat the trees as well and then came to the conclusion to do the headlight bucket as well (all gloss black). So that's about it here, ill go back to sitting at the window seeing if the ups/fedex men have anything coming my way.

That wooden case was given to me as an X-MAS gift, came with bottles. I went through the "high class bottles" and refilled it with good ol cans.

Just waiting on parts I ordered and once they all are here then the real work will begin. Im not a fan of doing one thing then waiting for more parts to arrive. So once they are all here, I will go to town until its up and running

Not one single part yet I am waiting on my rear fender, oil tank, and seat pan. Then the following parts were dropped off for powder coating that I was told would be done last weekend... Triple trees, push rod tubes, rocker top covers,derby cover and a few other misc. brackets. I do understand the wait though, these are all one off parts. I did not order anything pre-made. The seat pan, oil tank and rear fender were all ordered by me submitting detailed drawings/measurements. That oil tank should be here by now.
