it's a roller now. All I have to do is finish making my mounting plates and the engine goes in. then the real work starts...
Looks great!!....I wish I was that far along. Nice choice of pieces on the motor. Do you know how many degrees of front end rake you have? And would it be possible to get a measurement of the front forks from the pivot hole in the rear leg to the bottom of the lower triple tree? I've got a long springer and thought about cutting it down a little bit. Right now my frame is 35 degrees rake. Thanks...hatch

Hatch, I'll bring my angle finder home from work and get you the info tonight. it actually has the stock rake with a 5" longer than stock fork. the frame has been made 4" longer than stock in the front center and 3 inch longer in rear.

Thanks...hatch [/ QUOTE ] Hatch, The rake on the frame is 28 degrees & the fork is 26.5" from bottom of lower triple tree to rocker hole & for the other dude that PM's me the Oil tank is from Bernier Vintage Motorcycles on the east coast... one of the dudes from Choppahead hiped me to it on a WTB I posted last month
Can't help but notice the nice new wires poking outta the block.... Where'd ya get the 'lectrical for the beast?
the new electrical and some of the "speed" parts stuff came from my buddy's dad who used TT & mile race triumphs and nortons up until a few years ago. he has boxxes of the shit, but wont give them up freely. once he saw my motor apart and cleaned/polished he offered up some stuff... he also hooked me up with that rear OE fender Which I am going to cut the shit out of...
