Fabricated the top motor mount, will probably strengthen it by adding some gussets. Played around with the idea of hanging the coil behind the engine, a-la stock Dyna, but decided it didn't look right, and mounted it under the top mount instead.
With Deep Purple and Dwight Yoakum blaring through cheap speakers and bouncing off of the metal walls, I was inspired to construct a high-tech instrument cluster, complete with hardware store switches and an oil pressure idiot light only an idiot could love. Next, maybe a frame-mounted tab to hold the Corona-capped choke knob, cigarette lighter and cup holder armrests?

I love lamp . . . and bike . . . and idiots.
ReplyDeleteHome built,one piece at a time,as it should be. Half the fun are the different change ups along the way. I don't condone drinking and driving,at the same time, but the armrest thing sounds cool.

ReplyDeleteBC, as much as I dig the craftsmanship and out-of-the-box work of a Jesse Rooke, Chica etc. I still like some of the garage-built stuff best.

Enjoying the build posts!
