Getting at "Old Blackie" now. Got the bottom end and trans in now so bolting on the primary case to make sure everything is in line so there are no problems with the case cracking under load. An important step that is often missed by others when assembling and leads to more problems later with cracks or leaks. Also getting the front end started as well.

Getting the rear shocks on, oil tanks and various other parts getting put on and done. Stainless steel oil lines add a little shine to her as well.

The new shorter signal light bar cleans up the rear since there won't be bags in this bike. I love the suttle pinsripping touches Zeke has added to the rear fender...nice! Rear wheel, struts, rear fender and other goodies going on....

Motor is all together now so here is where we are at so far...a few more hours to go yet..ha ha

More to come soon.....
