I have made a lot of progress over the last few days. I got my bottom tube welded into my sears frame. I have run into some issues with things fitting because of raking my neck three degrees. One of them was gas tank fitment. My tank was lowered a little bit on my bike and I had to make clearance for the rocker covers. Here is the relief for the front cylinder. It is mostly done in this pic.


HEre it is all welded up.



After a bit of grinding. This is going to look so good all painted up.




I am working away on fitting sheet metal, exhaust and bits and pieces. the weekend is going really well and I will be a lot closer to my goals by the end of tomorrow. Have a nice day everybody!

My dad and I went on a field trip up to Lehr North Dakota today to sort out some engineering issues that showed up. I think that we have everything sorted out. These are the prototype pins that Delmar and Todd made up. They are exactly like the blue prints that we made a couple weeks ago, but they will not work because the blue prints were not that good! My dad and I over looked a couple of clearance issues and we had to modify our plan. The four of us spent five hours looking at 95 year old sears parts and brainstorming and came up with a solution that we all agreed on. I will post some more pics as things progress on the motor front!


Here is Delmar's new 9 axis machining center. This thing is huge.



If there was a tornado in the area, or a nuclear attack, I would hide in here
