I posted this on the other board when it was almost complete. It's now officially a rider - thanks to all the fine folks at the recent triples rally in Paris, Ontario, hosted by BikerDon. I was having starting problems but the guys on the KTC board insisted I bring it anyway and, sure enough, the "collective" had my problems solved and me up and running in time for the Sat. ride-out. So my 5000km round trip was not in vain. Thanks again to all those in Paris.
It's a '71 H1A with Damon crank, new top end, shimmed tranny, Sytech clutch release, NOS TNT chambers and ball-bearing clutch pusher, Uni-pods, S2A disc-brake front end, custom leather seat w/ Z1 tailpiece, rebuilt Redwing Hammerheads, EX M/C and caliper conversion, ReproDecals custom gauge faces, ...
Here's the group of 10 of us that hung around for a 100 mi. ride on Sunday down to Turkey Point, ON, on the N. shore of Lake Erie.
Still a few bugs to work out but what a great feeling to finally have it on the road. This is a project that's been in progress for the past three winters.
Cheers,
Neil
