DECEMBER UPDATE: Finally got our build bike on the table after fixing an oil leak on my 83 Heritage. Spent a couple hours one evening partially tearing her down. Here's a progress pic with my oldest, Eli.
Haven't worked on it that last couple days because my newest daughter arrived. Everybody meet Jude, born at 10:33 am Dec. 5. She's "waving howdy." This pic was taken a few hours after she was born.
I can't help but want to help those looking for a project. I have a 71 hardtailed. It does have transmission issues in first and second gear. I also have a mid eighties motor with electric start. The eighties motor I am not aware of it's history I picked it up from a fella who was starting to have dementia issues. Therefor he couldn't tell me what if anything was wrong with it. I am gonna try and attach some photos of both. I can be contacted through my email.

Are you going with short exhaust or did you check to make sure the pipes will clear? I had to modify my forward controls a bit. What a pain!
