So we finally had our taxes done today and I will finally be able to start ordering parts in the next week or so. I have the engine stripped completely down already gonna do the 277 rephase hardtail different carb setup forward controls that's about all I have in mind as of now see what comes up as I get further into it...Will post pics as soon as I get my computer back..
 
Yeah haven't got the money yet but it's direct deposit so should be a week or so. Man who would of thought having a kid could get you such a big return. Haha
 
So I got the crank seperated for the 277 degree rephase waiting on new bearings to get here for reassembly. Getting ready to order carbs and start on the cam. Ill get pics up when I can.
 
So I just went on Mikesxs and the pamco 277 ignition is out of stock. Any other ideas on ignitions. I just spent 500.00 on mikesxs and thats without ignition. kind of disappointed they didnt have it available. I need help.
 
So Ive been slacking off on keeping up with this thread so here I am with some pics

Started reassembling the engine last weekend. The engine that came with the bike I was in the process of rephasing had the cam, ignition, and so on but when pressing crank back together it got bent somehow and by then I was out so much money I said screw it and bought a stock motor and am currently rebuilding it to run a stock setup for now. Also got the engine side covers painted and the color of the side covers is the color Im going with on the tank and fender and maybe fork legs. Let me know what you guys think so far. Thanks, Brad

Love the color and great work, i have a friend building a triumph with a very similar color on the motor, you will be turning heads!
 
making some good progress on the build. Engine is built. Most of the little brackets and such are welded up. Front wheel finally completed and on the bike and I resurfaced the rotor but still need to drill it. I got the clutch bolt modification done and the starter block off in. Now just waiting on exhaust so I can make a mounting bracket. Here are a few pics in case anyone is wondering. Let me know what you think please. Thanks, Brad

So I got everything finished up a couple weeks ago. I have to say a really huge thank you to ramairgtz he let me use his garage and tools to complete my project and we also traded off some parts back and forth and were able to benefit each other and also I gained a great friend in the process. Anyways enough of the mushy stuff here are a few pics of the bike during final assembly and also completed. Let me know what you think please.
