CVO3: .679246739 of a 2002 Candy Brandywine Screamin' Eagle Road King

I think this latest round of work increases completion status from .679246739 % complete to a hair shy of .737244705.
Don't ask what kind of hair.

the contrast between the red and the gray really jumps out at you

Thought so too.  It was less striking when the red parts were laid on the old ugly dingy case before it spent 20 minutes in the bead blast cabinet.  Now it's a real difference.

[Twolanerider]

What did you do...rub up against d00d!   

Oy vey, if Dood and I were both laying this out it would never get done!

Totally agreed .

We know its a red one...the hair that is.

Might be starting down the path toward being overly anal retentive when there's already 12 point chrome hardware on the ECM and chrome acorn nuts sized to the ECM caddy....    

Overly anal retentive is building your bike on a color-matched (probably handmade) afghan.  This is going to be one sweeet ride when it's done.  Enjoy watching the progress.

Damn, never thought about that.  And you're right.  A friend made that for me.  Still remember thinking "oh, that's the softest thing here; perfect for the Road King frame."

          Whatever becomes of the SERK, I am just glad that you are alive and well to be able to work on it and that it isn't somewhere up there with Auntie Em's house. Hadn't paid much attention to the site given the news from around the country. I guess it's alright to waste time on here if people such as yourself can given what you've been through. God Bless you my friend. So glad to read your words this morning. I am sitting on the shore of Sebago Lake watching the sun come up counting my blessings. My friendships most among those.

My god it's been forever since we've talked.  So glad you're there and settling in.  Will call this weekend to catch up and hear about the trip east.

A subassembly is complete.  The 2 1/4" 12 points 1/4" bolts (and some other hardware) arrived today so could loosely hang the side cover.  

Don't remember who pointed it out before, but whomever it was is correct; the exhaust bracket isn't a stock bracket.  It's the bracket for a set of Fatcats.

Dang it Don, that's downright 'PURTY'.   spyder

Oh, I'm thinking there's a lot more than just that exhaust bracket that's not stock there. 

Looks great, Don!

I thought so too Spyder.  While messing with and otherwise fondling the powdered parts last night discovered a piece to get redone though.  Had missed it previously but one of the nacelle halves has something in the powder; right on top.  Miss it unless it's in the right light.  But assembled on the bike it'd be in plain view and would bug me.  Still have about a pound of the powder though. 

One rocker box top also had a tiny tiny flaw that would be between the cylinders when assembled.  Was going to easily live with that.  But while do-over on the nacelle is done think I'll have them get both parts.

Thanks Brian.  Who knows when substantially more will get done.  But it was fun to play with parts for a bit a few evenings.

[CVOJOE]

It's a thing of beauty, joy, and functionality Don!!!    Now get her done so some of us can come by sometime and get some bug juice on the front of her!
