Damn that is nice Paul.

Started and stopped on my 65 a couple of times for different bikes (78 FXE, 1996 FLHT). Just when I get to rolling on it, my niece's 50 comes into play.

Thanks Dave!

I hear ya, I stopped on this one to focus on the other ones but I'll be back on this shortly to finish up a few things then remove these stud walls and finally put in beams.

No it was par for the course. Dripped a bit out of the vent hose that normally goes to the primary chain then ends up on the ground anyway.
