Larry,
It looks really neat and thanks for the picture sequence. You have really been busy since Monday[

]. Do you still have your day job[

)]? Nice work.

Thanks, guys.

Ron, I could not manage to slip the motor in with the swingarm and rear motor support installed, so I took off the swingarm, then slipped the motor in nice and easy, and then reinstalled the swingarm and rear motor support. It was an easy process that way.

I hope i don't end up with a bunch of extra bolts and nuts when I'm finished! [:0]

If I was getting paid by the hour, this bike would be making me a wealthy man!

Larry remember that 18 year old kid thing we talked about. Mine is still available to help.

Larry,
Sometimes it is easier to have the swing arm out especially if you don't have an extra set of hands to slide the engine in without scratching the frame. On the extra bolts and nuts just send them to me and that way you won't worry about them. Looking good.

Larry, is that rubber hose around the frame tubes to prevent scratching when assembling? Looks like a good idea!

cubfan1968 · January 25, 2006, 02:33:47 PM

You're right Mick, thats a good idea on the hose. I'm going to use it when I put my engine back in.

Larry, what are you doing with the rims?

Also has this bike seen its last reunion ride?

Larry,

Great job, your restoration appears first class. I am looking forward to seeing the completed bike.

Where did you get your hardware plated?

Mick,
You can buy a pipe insulation product at Lowes and it works great and is cheap. I like to put it the rear loop also as that is one part that tends to get scratched.

Larry,
Thanks for the picture. That sure is fun to see it through the process. I dropped a frame off at the sandblasters today. It is the best way to keep sanity in the winter months.
