The Engine is done and Home. Now I can realy get moving and finshing it

 

That's one slick looking motor, well done Walka, this bike is going to look great.

The Engine is in and I chucked on the Front end quickly just to see that it was all fitting up ok.

Tommorow I will strip it all down and get the Frame ready for Paint.

I droped of all the Tins off to Joe at Pega's Custom Cycles for Painting tonight , Joe is a Panel Beater by Trade. During the day he is Repairing crashed Cars and at Night he is building some orsom Bikes, The guy works hard

After a couple of hours we worked out the Colours and how it he was going to lay them down, I talked my Boss in to paying for it so once Joe has finshed the main colours there of to Mat Egen's for a little bit of Art Work , Nothing to crazy just a couple of Logo's and some Pinstriping

Hopefuly I should have them back in a few weeks

Well a Bobbers not a Bobber unless it has a Jockey Shift.

I made this one up out of a Spare Frender Strut, All I did was cut off the Top Mounting Plate and Weld in a peace of 1/2 Thread and Drill out the Shaft, I topped it of wilth a Moon Knob

Thanks guy's, but it's not hard,,, It's all got together easy, There has been a few things that I've had to make or Parts I've had to make fit. Yes there has also been some changes and problems but thats all part of the fun
Today I should have the Coil, Headlight and Ignition Key mounted, I've been waiting months for the Handle Bars, There here tomorrow, and the rest of the Paint should be later this week. With wiring done it should be finished in a week or so. I can't wait
