Thanks

Rode it around again this eve for about 45 minutes..Kinda addicting to ride..Too bad Winter is coming soon..

I have the decal for the side cover on and the tank and the cover clear coated..Kick Start from Wayne is all done too...

Next thing is the foot boards..They should arrive this week..Will be nice to have those on..Once those are on, I can do the rear brake pedal and linkage..

Make a stop so the kick start doesn’t flop so far forward.

Yes that is in the plan. Otherwise it hits my little pinion cover..I just have not decided where to locate it quite yet...

I did get the ignition wired up today..Not alot I can do till the exhaust and the floor boards get here..I did ride it again today for around ten miles. Everything is still working well mechanically. Thanks

Put a tailpipe on today..It is ran through the forward original hole, then rearward..No I did not drill those two holes at the rear, they were there when I bought the frame..Not sure for what purpose.. The pipe is for stationary diesel generators.. So time will tell if it will hold up in a mobile environment..

Nice finish!  The Model Y Briggs cover was the touch!

Yes that cover was a ingenious idea,LOL  Seriously it does just look right on there..

The Footboards did arrive today. Have them on..They should suffice. Finishing up the rear brake setup is next...

Not sure what to do on the clutches yet..Leave em open or fab a cover?  What do you think? Ideas?

Thanks for following along.

Rear pedal and linkage is done..Going to work great I think..If some do not know what the pedal is from..It is a modified Kickstarter of a Old Briggs Washing Machine type motor..Thanks

Thanks

The sidecover came from the same motor.. I kinda hated to scavenge the Little kick start Briggs.. But it needed some work..I did not want to put the money into it..And selling those local is not that easy around here, and shipping them is a pain..
