I put the foot pegs and the rest of the motor into the bike. The piston rings were too big for the cylinder but that was easily fixed with some filing. The copper gasket that goes between the top of t...

The bottom half of the motor is mounted into the bike. This will help when trying to assemble the top half because it means I don't have go continually chase around the bottom half. It is rigidly moun...

I added the fenders and the oil tank. The wiring harness and the headlight are also finished. And attached to the bike. One of the only things left is to just click in the motor. This is not a particu...

Painting the frame was one of the easier jobs I've had to do. The frame was littered with small specks of rust that bad poked through from under the paint. It was required that I paint over the rust t...

I took the remaining parts off of the frame. We may have to replace the fork springs because they are really rusted. I then took a bucket of soapy water and scrubbed all of the dirt, dust and cobwebs...

I basically just stripped the rest of the parts off of the frame. This leave me to be able to throughly clean the frame and possibly touch up paint if necessary....

The clouds part, a single beam of light shines down from the sky revealing the freshly painted tank and fenders and chorus of angels sing in the background. Alright, that didn't actually happen but it...

This post is an update to previous post. Starting the brazing over was a step in the right direction. We used a different set up for the blow torch to get it even hotter. We used a setup that allowed...

There was no way to mount the rack so I had to make a way. My father has a lathe in the basement that I used to make little attachment bits that I can braze into the gas tank and then screw a bolt int...

Nate was kind enough to sand blast the tank and fenders extremely quickly. I have pictures of the tank but not the fenders because we decided to take the tank home to fix a crack in the front of the t...

Yesterday my dad drove me to his friend nate's shop. Nate is the guy we will have paint my fenders and gas tank. We left the tank and fenders with him to sand blast and my dad will pick them up from h...

The piston I ordered is technically a piston for a BSA, however, it will work for my bike perfectly. I needed a +.020 piston (20 over the original production size piston) because as the piston goes up...

I had to bang out the dent in the fender. It all went really really well without any complications. There is a long scratch where the dent used to be but that will get fixed when we get everything pai...

Today I took off all of the wiring on the bike. I just had to disconnect all of the wires from their connections and I was done. I had to take the headlight off because all of the wires centralized in...

Today I took the fenders off of the bike. I set up the bike in the driveway and proceeded to unscrew tons of nuts and bolts to get parts off. The front fender came off with no problem. However, the ba...

I found a parts manual online that has diagrams of all of the different parts on the motorcycle and where they go.The manual shows a bike that is the same model as mine but it is 2 years older than my...

The Rocker Box had to come off first. We figured out that most of the bike uses Whitworth which is a British standard hardware. This is no longer used but since my bike was from 1970 they still used t...

Today my dad drove me to Colin's house to pick up a head steady. When we got home we took the motor out of the bike and brought it into the basement. We put it on the bench where I'm going to do the r...

The muffler is a racing type so it goes behind the frame and sticks out the back. It is a high muffler so it goes on top of the motor instead of underneath it. The muffler is a little rusty so we have...
