Nice to see the progress you've made John.  I really like the engine too.  Nice touch on the "x" on your master cylinder too.  ;)   Love those sorts of details as you know.  cheers, tim

Daymn Gina.... Holy smokes that is Bad Ass!!! Looks like you have been a Rivet Placing Fool. It looks so good. You are just killing this build. I am enjoying your updates and can't wait until the next one now.

Coming together nicely John.  That's a great update but I'm curious, can you focus your eyes now after putting in all those rivets?   :)   Cheers

Hello.......thank you all so very much for the kind comments........I really do appreciate them:)........I got a good start on the engine.......I still need to add a few details and parts.......all the chrome was stripped and painted Alclad.........I used "Pro Tech": spark plug wires, throttle linkage parts, nut and bolt ends, rubber fuel line and braided line.......I made the plug boots and fue line fittings........my buddy Dave Ryberg "Goat Guy"  gave me a computer ribbon a few years ago and I decided to use it on this engine for the engine belt...... thanks for looking.
