    When the rear end is in bad shape, its no fun for anyone... Thank You Lee! And yes, it's been a few years now since I want over the bars and bounced a few times and slid down the trail to a painful stop, cracking the helmet on a rock.. (July of '19). Over the top is way more satisfying than...

    The wife loved them. When I planned the switch to the 7/8 bar I ordered the smaller pair, because she said she wanted them on it. The 1" ones will get used, maybe in this year's MBBO.

    Painted the rear frame. I put the seat together as well. Need to grind the top of this screw to get the set screw in. Also need to grind the wider springer crown a bit so it can angle down correctly with the steer tube and the height of the head tube. Then can get this thing.put back together.

    Happy and friendly is their defense. Hehehe Our trouble maker, when you get a third dog, it's like that third kid. Always causing mischief with the older ones. ( I was the third of 5 ) We lost Grunt in 2022 (Back wall). Loki is 5 now, 3 then and full of P&V.

    Great looking ride Lee! Sorry I missed a lot of it while it was happening but such awesome results. Every part looks vintage and matched to the age of the frame, as if it's always been this bike for the last 90+ years. 👍 👍
