I just found out I wont have my pistons till next week so I wont have the motor in till then. I was looking forward to putting it together this weekend.I guess Ill get a 1 7/8 socket fabed up this weekend so I can change my trans pulley. and get the wheel back on

The only reason I was thinking of it so I can have alil more stretch to more than raking it. I put 5 degree trees on mine but I would mind having acouple more degrees in the neck.. You would have to make a jig to hold everything in place, then be able to change degree on neck. I like doing all my own work to, havent paided anyone to do anything to my bike yet and dont plan on it ever. I get more joy out of it doing it myself.

Hmm, at first I thought that was a work garage...until I saw the kid's race playmat under the bike. I wish my garage was that big. We have to park the 2nd car outside all year because the bike and 2 cars don't fit into the 2 car (townhouse) garage.

thanks Ive been builing my own race engines for about 20 years now so the engine work is easy to me. The rest is new. But thats why I like the harley it pretty basic compared to other bikes. My 4 wheeler is harder to work on than this.I am trying something different in this build if it works ill tell you all what it is.
