Well, when you consider lots of builds start with a teardown, then 10yrs later you're standin' there scratchin' your head at how it all goes back together... it ain't so different.Watching this great build - a whole machine from bits!
Yup, taking 'em apart is the easy part.Well, when you consider lots of builds start with a teardown, then 10yrs later you're standin' there scratchin' your head at how it all goes back together
Shiny bits for the headlight ears were pretty crusty.

Nothing a Brillo pad and Turtle Wax couldn't handle though. Also polished the fork caps.

Didn't have the square rubbers... spring washers and such that go under the lower chrome piece, so I made some round ones from some rubber tubing and super glue.

... and put it all together. Polished up some stainless bolts for the lower pinch bolts. I've got the chrome upper bolts and acorns around here somewhere...

One step closer to being a roller.
View attachment 206761 Shout out to @YamadudeXS650C for the ears and bits. Thanks Jeff!!
Yeah, I've already picked up what looks to be a good (complete) bottom end. Lookin' for the top end bits.I imagine that you are scouring Fleabay for an engine?

If you can't find the head or cylinder, drop me a line; I've got "connections".
I've still got the bottom end you had Phil, but it doesn't fit in this frame. I picked up a '74 bottom for it.Hey Jim. Did you get the bottom end from me? I think I have the stock head for it.

Picked up some bolts and installed the headlight bucket.
Turn signals, if I use 'em, will go on the handlebars. Still no joy on the chrome pinch bolts and acorns.
Jeeze... I need a better parts storage system.
