Had to improvise for the tach mount ... I had a Buell S1 tach and a cup from from a late twin cam that I had to make fit ... this bike eats tachs ... I have a Speedway digital tach also that I will add. Not sure how easy that will  be to read at speed.  Between them I should be okay. Started the bike with the S&S Super D alcohol carburetor and it sounds strong.  VP methanol is cheaper then racing gas.

Joe the new fender looks good and it looks like it belongs there. Did the air cleaner show up?

No shit, I guess I should pay attention. I didn't hear anything bad so no news is good news.

Joe I am getting my machine this week so we can start on a triple tree if you are still interested.

Got the S1W engine out (1350 cc) and started designing install of the XB9 engine out of the old 9216 bike. My top hand, my son Joe and I came up with a mounting system that will allow me to swap back to a Sportster mount design at will.  Doesnt look promising for Bub's but I will be ready for the fall ECTA and LTA events.
