I sure don't like to be a naysayer, but I can unequivocally guarantee that there's absolutely no way you'll be going to World of Speed in August.

Slim are you trying to motivate me to get the bike done so you can check it out at WOS............I know how much you love Harley's!

NO, I'm trying to say that World of Speed is in September, and SpeedWeek is in August.  Just keeping in touch with my position as proofreader-in-chief.

I suppose, while I'm at it, I should remind you that there need be no apostrophe in "Harley's".  But I expect you knew that and were just trying to get my goat.

Thanks Slim, I look forward to meeting you one day. While you are on your proof reading tear Speed Week is two words and not one.

"The Devil is in the details."
That position has been filled and no rookies need apply.
You may wish to leave your resume with the HMFWIC, but recognize it is a lifetime appointment. :wink:

That is 2, and only 998 more to go before I can go back in the garage per Sami.

Life is good and expected to get better.

Isaih --

Slim likes Harley's what?

And in this year's "Official" program, SpeedWeek is spelled SpeedWeek. Sorta like some proprietary thing.

Begging you pardon.  It's unforgiveable (unforgivable?) to misspell someone's name.  (Other comments stand.)

No I am going to Speed Week in August. Are you going to Bub? I may be able to swing both, but I doubt it will happen.

We may end up there as well as we are going to be camping for the first three or four days we are there.

I got a magazine from the UK in 1 day, and there wasn't even a bill with it.
They call it the "Left Coast", but it is "Way Right". :wink:

Been a busy weekend! I got my spare motor put in so I could line up the rear sprocket and figure out the offset needed for my trans sprocket. All of my sprockets are on order and being made at PBI. Had my heads flowed and was pleasantly surprised to find out that the motor has the potential to make about 133 hp if I can tune it and build a good exhaust system. Got lots of parts ordered and on the way. I have about 30 days left and it is going to be close. I hope I can make it............


Got the footpegs and shifter completed.


Grinded, shaped, drilled and sandblasted peg mounts.


Mounts welded on.


Shifter rod was made of aluminum stock. I drilled and tapped the ends for the heim joints.


Motor mount is almost complete to include a mounting location for the two Dyna coils. The coil portion still has alot of work as I need to trim the piece down once the thread bungs are welded to the plate.


Another view of the motor/coil mount.


Got my new grips put on and the clip-ons in what I believe are there permanent location.
