Thanks Pete I woke up and ordered some black with red accent cloth covered spark plug cable, glass sediment bowl (second one) knurled brass lead fasteners and copper ring connectors. I definitely won't add an air cleaner to the carb.
Since I've welded the two motor mounts securely to the case with the much maligned economy flux core (photo) & my miserable vision...doing it the hard way just listening to the sound of fusion cause I can't see the puddle, but I'll clean it up latter. I'm committed to Pat's frame dimensions and I'll be using the Harley tube clamps that I favor for such things. I'll wire brush the mirror finish of these as I've done with the carb manifold & that takes some of the sparkle off polished stainless.
I'll attach both the cylinder heads together with a "bridge" bracket to support the top of the motor via a single frame tube clamp mounted under the fuel (volt/amp) tank. I'm thinking this bracket can also serve as a mount for the sediment bowl.
I'm going to start mounting the case plates on the mag drive/exhaust/ pushrod side of the e-motor case along with brass oil line fitting and oil level sight glass. I've still to decide on whether the OHV pushrod springs should be concealed under the customary tube covers or run exposed springs. Details abound that were, it seems, left to the discretion of each individual HD line worker, anomaly's abound so I'll just wing it!
I'm thinking really short exhaust stubs, black rather than chrome.
Pete time seems to fly. Think I started putting pieces together in Nov. & have devoted some time here and there to it. I've certainly not rushed and added or subtracted as whim led me. I've thought that Spring might find me at work on the frames details and engine completed...so that's not far away. Since I've built one bike on the Sportsman Flyer frame I'm confident of a great platform to work with.
