is it just the angle of the picture or is the lower rear fender really close to the ground?
Amazing work with the wiring harness!

Thanks!
It is on the ground. I just threw it on there to mock it up. Need to figure out my brackets to mount it.

For me, winter in the Midwest means building on or re-building my bike. I found a brass oil gauge to match my brass oil lines so today I made a new bracket out of 3/16" aluminum plate. I also made some new pushrod covers out of 7/8" brass tubing and copper plate.

Fabricated a new bracket and relocated the coil.

I quit working on mine last night because it was soaking wet, IN THE GARAGE.

I had that problem also. I turned the heat on and keep it at 40F so condensation doesn't happen. When I used to keep it in my enclosed trailer I put a 100 watt light bulb close to the floor of the trailer but not close enough to ignite anything. Worked good

Got up to 56 here in the southern Black Hills so I got the first ride of 22' in. A bit chilly but a good ride none the less.

G'day Fellas.
Fired up the 88 softy after fitting the #50 primary Jet. Sounds good at full temp. Take her out for a road test tomorrow weather permitting (phu(king rain).
Cheers
