+1 on the Medalion speedo w/gold letters. Looks classier and the HD one isn't symmetrical.

This would be my choice as well...

Taking a break.  Before pushing too hard and scratching something up.  Not enough hands.  Can't find the right angle.  Two frakking hours.  Many bad words being spoken......

[Twolanerider]

Woo Hoo      !!

 

Gave up trying to slide it all in together.  Needed more room than I could find and forcing it was going to scratch stuff up.  So gave up...

Separated the engine and transmission and took the rockers off down to the heads to gain more room.  It's in!!

Tranny and engine are bolted back together and rockers are back on.  It's all just setting loose in the frame; but it's in there!

Goin' to Taco Bell.

One step closer to being more than a parts collection depot.

This is better than any biker build-off show.  Lookin' really, really good, Don!

Thanks Brian.  After the first part of last evening the moral support is appreciated .

Have to make a parts run today though.  Since had to separate the engine and tranny had to take off the oil lines between the two.  Had a new set of lines here but, dammit, only had three rather than four clamps.  The two that have to go in while the tranny and engine are apart are installed but need to pick up more.  The bike shop is actually open today (Sunday pre-Christmas sale).  So even if Ace Hardware doesn't have them cheap I'll have a plan B option.

This project is shaping up very nicely Don  I am looking forward to seeing this beauty in person in the not too distant future.    Keep up the good work (and patients) it's paying off

Had to walk by the Road King a moment ago to get something from the shop.  Even stripped back down to its fenders it looks gooooood finally having an engine and tranny in the big empty spot that was in the middle. 

Tires and wheels will be the next significant visual change.  Then it can come off the cart and roll around on its on .

slow down will ya?  It's not a sprint.

Had some time to kill this evening so wandered out to the shop.  A few more small bits hung and mounted the swingarm.  Drivetrain is aligned.  Tires and wheels and a kickstand might have to go on real soon now .

It's a ROLLER !
