I don't have much to update, this has gone onto the back burner for a bit.
I'll be going up to Baxter's Rally on the 16th and 17th of August and hope to score a few parts that I would like to get for it. I want to find a different exhaust, possibly a sweptback, Siamese, or TT setup, just something sexier than stock. I also wouldn't mind a Joe Hunt or ARD. There are some little BS things I need also. And some rearsets. I have found all of these things on the net and elsewhere but I like to support my local bike shop if I can.
I did narrow the 4 LS brake to fit the Triumph forks but I am having trouble with the front axle. I really should have it turned on a lathe and it would be really easy, but one of the machine shops I normally use has vanished (out of business), another guy I know that has a lathe passed away (so it will be awhile before he gets to it) and as of yet I just haven't found anyone who can do it. I just need to reduce the outside diameter of the axle to fit the Triumph lower axle clamps.... I could almost do it on a grinder, but I would like to have it exact so it doesn't work loose while the bike is being ridden. That would suck to have the front wheel come loose at 70 mph.
I did ride it for a few days back in June and it runs pretty good. It has a surprising amount of poop for an old pushrod motor. If I ever get it done
it will be a fun toy.
