It only took 8 months from start to finish,and considering that all the delay's weren't beacuse of lack of interest, there was work,wifey,holidays,parts delivery delays,design and fabrication time & most important $$$. ( I know excuses,excuses )
Nothing on this bike is of common stock and regaurdless of where the engine was originally made? it has been remade and is no longer the bear'er of Chinese parts( well maybe 2 parts, Case & Cylinder)
The fabrication of parts is really endless even down to the custom made cables and hand polished SS Nuts,Bolts,washers, faux Magneto Box and case, there was some frustration but mostly Fun!Fun!fun! even with amazement of the crowds that gathered around my truck at the place's I stopped when transporting it to and from Dans place, they were so charged to see it, all the compliments from this forums members, Fun!Fun!Fun!
Decals for the the Crank Case, Chrome the exhaust pipe and kill switch is all thats needed,then on with the next one "Big Black Jack" Ya' All go'n like this one too!
