New tank
I just received my new used tank that I won on eBay. Needs a paint job but there are no dents and the inside is pretty clean.

Roller in the new year.
This new years eve was very productive. Paul and Alex helped me put a new continental front tire on the original wheel. Finally we are rolling.

Cylinder and head
The motor is all closed up. We finally put the new cylinder jugs and pistons onto the main motor assembly. I had to machine the jugs to fit a oil bung but other than that it fit like a charm. We also ground the valve ring in the head and we are ready to reassemble the springs. I think it looks pretty good. Next up carburators.

Primary Side complete.
After almost a year and a half, I finally have the bottom end back together. This weekend I put the finishing touches on the Primary side of the motor. The hard part was finding the clutch push rod. For some reason during dismantling of the motor, I put the push rod in a draw in my tool box. Needless to say I don't remember doing it, but just by luck I found it. The good thing is I cleaned off my work bench in the process.
Now that the bottom end is complete I mounted the motor in the frame. I thought this might be the safest place for it. It looks good and the bike is getting closer to being road worthy.
I also found out this week that my cylinder barrels are too pitted for boring. My guy from Integrity Auto suggested I get a new barrel. Thanks to Ebay, there is a rebuild .030 over barrel and new pistons on its way. Turns out it was way cheaper than boring my cylinder and buying new pistons.

Solidworks almost finished
I have found some time to work on the solidworks model. I am almost finished with the motor and the frame is finished. I think it looks pretty cool.
