I have been making progress on the 73. Waiting for wheels to be laced and still searching for a case. Dave
built a nice crank for me too.

It's a shame the cases hide that crank. It's a nice looking piece. :thumbup:

I had Dave build me another crank a few months ago with the best of everything including new rods.
Have a special bike I'm building for me with rubber mounted cases for this crank.

Noticed the Neiko caliper in your photo. Do they work well? I like the inch/mm instant convertor, or do they all offer that feature? MY most used tool is in your photo, that white roll on the left. :lol:
Bet your friend is quite happy. Keep posting the updates.

Ron,

I just sent my gauges off to Don Fulsang this morning, spoke to him a few times, great guy !.....can't wait to get them back.......I was looking at doing them myself and figured that was probably not a good idea.

Also, got my emgo turn signals on, they look great !

Thanks for the info !

Phil

Well after looking for a set of cases close to the right number I gave up. Found a local shop that
could weld up the damage. So the original cases are going back into the frame, cool.
This was before

After the weld, I did the clean up myself since I have lots of aluminum grinding tools.

Didn't grind the outside for strength
