Few pics of my project

[Raywelder]

Did some cutting and milling on the handle bar clamp thing.


And took off some of the ugly on the triple tree.



I will be moving the ignition somewhere else, and be mounting the speedometer on the ignition mounting bolts.

[Raywelder]

Working on an aluminum speedo-bucket,
all I need is mounting tabs on it, Its bolting to the ignition key mounts.





Its hard to tell, but the bottom is actually rounded out a bit.

You're doing a good job.

Will your bike do 85 ya think? They have 160 MPH speedos from the 79's.

I sure hope it will!
There has been a few briggs v-twin choppers that top out over 100mph. Same clutch system. So I have high hopes for my top speed.

The bikes coming up well,
I was looking at the exhaust you have put together, a 'X' pipe
to link the 2 cylinders would be easy to do and might
give it a bit more power.

Nice looking work! I hope you have sent some pictures to the Briggs folks. It could be in their next add campaign. I can imagine the HD want to bes walking around it in the parking lot trying to figure out what model that is. And it would still out run most of their 20K machines. Can't wait to see it finished. I love this kind of project. One of those "jest for the hell of it kind of things".

I was thinking about a 2 into 1 system originally.

Where would I put the x?

Where you have the exhaust finising atm,
you could place the 'x' pipe there, then finish with a dual muffler system,
was JAT.
The 2-1 would work well too, and probably less weight.

I cut the handle bars down, they only rise up about 2 inches now and are nearly straight.
They look mean, but feel weird, So I might change them later on.

Mounted the Gas tank today,
and made a seat bracket and pivot, so seat is mounted. Springs arent mounted yet.

[Raywelder]

Welded in the bottom support for the seat springs, and cut out my taillight\license plate bracket.
Also got some nice pictures..

So how much longer do you think before you can test ride it? I am just curious how well it will work. It will definitely be unique.

[Raywelder]

I've started it once before right after I got the drivetrain put together, no throttle or seat. It was all I could do to hang on to it,

I could Start it right now and motor around a bit. but I am wanting to get a few more things done on it before I do that.
