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.

Headlamp Bracket Spacers

After almost 40 years of wear, the rubber spacers between the bolts, headlamp brackets and bucket were in sad shape. A trip to a local supplier scored me several pieces of 1/16" and 1/8" thick rubber sheeting, which I've been cutting up to use for various parts of the restoration.

For these spacers, I just traced the actual washer, cut the rubber with scissors and cut a hole (no need to be too exact here) in the middle. Looks great and is enough to protect the headlamp bucket from getting scratched!
