I have been waiting for parts for Leroy's bikes forever so I decided to build a bike for me. I just tore this one apart 4 weeks ago and started putting it together last Sunday. Everything went smooth for a change and everything lined up just right. I had the chrome back in 10 days and the paint was back in 2 weeks. I had the chrome flash chromed like it was originally instead of triple chromed like usual, it turned out great. I still have to find the other cable guide for the tachometer mount and I am waiting for the carb caps to show up too. I am going to start it tomorrow or the next day. All of the wiring, the main harness, the battery harness, the taillight harness, and the distributor/spark plug harness are all nos. The insulator, gaskets, rotor and cap and spark plug caps are also nos. The only thing I can think of that is incorrect is the kick-pedal boss. I checked my other 69 and it also has the square boss so I can't steal it from there. It will have to work for now. This is the first bike I have got to build for myself in 4 years and it feels good.
I took the cylinder apart and dumped the fish oil.
I replace it with fork oil.
The carbs were nasty.
They cleaned up fine.
I re-plated and chromated the coil and clamp and the carb clamps.
The oil pump was locked up.
Even nos felt rings.

I should have the oil tank sticker Monday and it will be finished. If the weather ever clears for a bit I will fire it up and go for a ride.
