Finished!


Finally, the completed bike! After completing the rebuild, I added a set of Chase Harper saddlebags and some other extra bits. This is a nice studio shot a friend of mine did of the completed project.

Broken Camshaft Tip


Just found out that at some point the camshaft tip (lower part of the photo) had been broken. In order to hold the advance unit in place on the shaft, someone tapped into the tip of the shaft and the advance is now held in place with an allen screw and washer, with a small circlip of some type in between to keep it tight.

Almost Finished?


With the new Corbin seat in place, I'm only waiting for a new headlamp rubber gasket and I'll be able to finally assemble the headlight.

Then, I'll go through the whole bike one more time to recheck torque settings, adjust cables, and make sure there isn't anything I've forgotten.
