I’ll do that but I’m going to sell that entire paint set to someone. I’m going to put a peanut 3.3 gas tank on and a no hole rear fender, the front fender has a couple of small nicks so I’m going to replace it also, I haven’t decided what to do with those side covers yet, I’m either going to paint them or replace them with chrome.
I do know that I’m going to paint it Ford Velocity blue instead of the Harley color.

This was last weekends job, new handlebars chrome controls and internal wiring. I must be getting slower in my older age took me about 8 hours.
Hopefully the new cables I ordered will get here before the weekend and I can install them alone with servicing the the primary and can do the final install on the carburetor and breather system.

This weekends projects Saturday was a total waste of time almost nothing fit properly so I spent 1/2 the day taking parts out to ship back so I could get the right parts on the way.
Sunday was a good day everything went perfect, got new swing arm, rim, sprocket cover, taillight and licence plate bracket installed.

Could just be the angle of the photo, but how much clearance is there ?
Thanks,
