I finally finished this bike, it was harder than most because there is very few spare parts available. I ended up having to either make, or have made the footrest assembly, top tree bolts, 2 of the valve cover bolts, right side cover bolts, four drain plugs, left footrest, half the side stand, choke lever, gaskets, the front brake arm, and some grommets. UPS lost the brake arm and I got ahold of Mark at The National Motorcycle Museum and he did me a great favor by taking the brake arm off the bike they have and having a mold and a wax make for me. I found a fellow in Poland that had a set of grommets and rear peg rubbers, rear pegs, and a headlight lens. The brass spoke nipples were made in Czechoslovakia and the spokes were made in Germany. The Plating House of Canada did the chrome work and Swedes Body Shop in Aberdeen SD sprayed the single stage black. I found a fellow in Ohio that does casting as a hobby and he poured it for me. It would have helped to have a service manual but I fuddled through. I got the wiring straightened out but it still won't run very well for me. It idles but won't rev up. I took the right side of the engine off yesterday and checked the valve and cam timing and it's right on. When it is idling the timing light shows good timing. I have gone through the carb about 6 times and can't find anything wrong. It is something simple and I will find it soon. I think the bike turned out okay.
I made my gaskets.
I broke off one of the cam tensioner bolts, but it came out good.
The Earls link front end was new to me.
The rear footrest assembly was a disaster, a new one was made.
I hand filed a bunch of the hardware so I could save it.
Some were bad, here I am just starting to re-profile.
Here is the brake arm in wax and done.
Choke lever.
Steering lock.
