Shovel progress
















Just back from some more work on my bike.
Front forks have to be shaved, lowered and
de-reflectorized!
The ripple pipes will be all BLACK,with brass end caps and bracket.
Carburetor is on and back wheel and all gearbox/engine are finally in place.
Powdercoat, Paint and wiring to go!

Mucho thanks to Benny Thomas for all his help, a cool day.

yeah Seb, those reflectors are bugging me. All shaved accept the caliper bracket. Its a bit different than many of the bikes at Bennys shop.
With my mag wheels and black paint its more Jappy than anything. I hope it turns out OK and works. It is hard to do right. Couldnt do this everyday.
