Yes that is the motor and i can't wait to ride this one, nothing to post on progress today took sunday off...dave
Well it's been almost 2 weeks of waiting for parts and some progress.....First pic is of bike with cardboard temp. for crank and jack shaft/disk brake mount. Had to stretch the fork and widen her also, the motor mount/trans is just clamped together, just picked up parts from laser cutter took a while but worth the wait. This weekend its frame time ......... PS Thanks for nice words Curt.

Bike on the ground today just tacked together. Yes on the two shafts I like my feet forward as much as possible for comfort .

Curt almost all the things I use come from a steel supply house for making fences and such ... I used a 3 inch weld cap a 3 inx1/2 inch ring and some 1/2 in thick wall tubing, hope that helps.... Dave
I just have to keep a eye on this build. Looking good and I'm sure it will surprise me with the final outcome.
Jazz I too have a liking for the Merkel , some gets in my work I think . Curt I'm not loving the springer fork so sorry in comes a gurder. Today I ruffed in the gas tank. The welds arn't pretty but they keep the gas in side...Dave
