That is amazing work.
I need to win the lottery, get a garage like yours, retire and spend my days getting old classic motorcycles on the road again.
Keep posting so we can keep dreaming (and salivating).

Well, I told myself I would try to finish this project by the years end, Just a few minor details and she is done. The Holders for the header pipe turned out great, a quick dip in the zink gave them a great finish. My original sand cast rear shocks should be back together this week. After I prime the oil pump on the first start up on goes the tack cable . I cant thank all of you guys enough for all the help. :thumbup: I will post a video of the first start up. Should be ready to fire up by the 3rd.

Nice to see a '69 brought back to life in such fine shape!! (Brings back some good memories for me too!) :D

For accuracy, don't forget to install the smaller pipe clamps just ahead of the connector clamps ;) .

Be SURE to have the distinctive CDI "Beeeee" sound audible on your start up video too! :D

It's positioned above the cap having about 1.5" in between them.
