Coming Together

The past few days have been spent putting things together.  The engine and transmission are now in the frame as is the front end and rear wheel assembly.  Today we double checked the ride height of the bike with the shocks temporarily attached and determined that the oil tank will have to be notched in order to clear the primary and the starter.  We also finalized the handlebars and set the exhaust pipes in place to check clearance.  We then took the pipes to the U Blast It shop and cleaned them up prior to the application of 3 coats of high temp clear paint.  The bike has turned out exactly as we had planned.

 

Pipes have yet to be cleaned up

 

Not the final handlebars but you get the idea
