Making Progress

After a 10 day hiatus, Curtis and I (mostly Curtis) got back to building "Dusty".  The biggest source of concern and frustration was the primary and electric starter.  Curtis rides only kick start Harleys with open belt primaries and had never tackled a closed chain drive primary with an electric start.  Needless to say it was not one of his favourite activities putting this thing together and nearly put him off motorcycles...at least closed primary Harleys with an electric start.  But he gritted his teeth and pressed on.  It all went together and we think it went together properly.  The manifold, carburetor, air cleaner, coil, voltage regulator, foot controls and exhaust pipes have also been installed.  Next up will be oil lines, clutch cable, throttle, front controls, etc.  Still a ways to go...but the end is in sight.

Pipes, Air cleaner

Primary all together
