John, send the photos and descriptions to me and I'll have Nancy make the judgement on whether the visual is worth putting on the site.

wholly sheeeet... stuff happens quickly.  Glad you were not hurt worse.

In my middle aged years , Something I wear near full time when I am in my shop is safety glasses...  not to mention that they are bi-focal safety glasses so I can see stuff close up.  :-D

Thanks Tony, I had a full face shield and gloves on. Next time I'll remember to wear some steel mesh sleeves too :-o

The fuel tank is mounted low and behind the front wheel. I am going to run unfaired first, so I have made a tank protector to mount in the front of the tank...

The front, top motor mount has been fabricated. The fuel tank vent and tip-over valve go through the middle of the motor mount. The vent filter will be surrounded by the neck gussetts. This should put the vent in a good dead-air space...

 I finished my primary chain cover. This covers the short chain that runs from the transmission to the jackshaft...

Looks fantastic.  I really enjoy the bike builds.  They are so different from the cars yet I still find some engineering I can steal... a... borrow.

The best thing....  No blood

Thanks for the comments guys. If I remember right, the tip over valve was from Summitt. Look under external tip over valve.

The ECTA rules for steering stop angle at Maxton are different than the SCTA rules at Bonneville. I decided to make a stop block that can be rotated to meet one or the other by just loosening and turning it 90 degrees...

Nice idea, Randy.  On one of our bikes we've drilled and tapped the tabs that were the factory stops.  We inserted a screw and use locknuts to hold it at whatever location we desire - to get the required steering angle maximum.  I like you way -- lots less work, and although it has only two possible ways -- that's just enough.
