Changed headlight!

Didn't like the size of the headlight in comparison to the overall look of the bike. It is basically too small, but I found a great replacement in this springer 6-1/2 inch lamp. Looks much better.... don't you think.

Not done yet, some plans that involve the skill and steady hand of Incastienen. you'll see...

Heatshield!

Since my licenseplate light melted away some time ago I had to rethink the way I build it. Decided that I liked what I did and left the setup the same, but......... added a heat shield.
No way it was only going to be a simple plate, did it the hard way, the backyard way... build with what you have,
DBAIBO you fuckers ;)

Oyeahhh, Hart surgery succeeded!

Got time this weekend to do the final jobs on the engine.
Back in the bike and.... oyeah... its running soooo much smoother now.
No test ride yet, hopefully tomorrow.
Look at the gauge.... cold engine and 9,25 bar front and 9,45 bar on the rear cylinder, Hart surgery is a success, the work on the valves paid off.

Coming together again!

Enjoyed another evening in the workshop putting the front cylinder back together.
As always something else needs to get done as well. Decided to replace the guiding brackets for the camshaft chain because they have become brittle. I hope the spares are in stock.....

Headcase!

Bit of cleaning and....... Lots of valve lapping. After a good 1,5 hour I am happy with the result.
