New Build almost done!
Well I'm almost done with my first build. The Frame is softail 38 degree rake with 6 up and 6 out. Motor is twincam 88 bored to 95, 6 speed tranny, open belt drive. The engine wasn't very easy to install in this frame, but the price is right on these used twin cams. I have done All the work my self including paint, it took about 7 months from start to finish. Getting ready to build the wiring harness and gewt this thing running! Here are some pics

yes it was tough getiing everything line up. I must have took the motor out and put it back in a few times. I had the rear mount adaptor taken down 3/32 to get the rear of the engine down lower to make the tranny sit flat. Once I got it right everything slides together easily with the right spacers and all, no stress on bolts, fits nicely. |

Paint is from Kustom shop. $42 a quart. easy to spray- we'll have to see how long it lasts. But this was my first time sprayin paint and I didn't want to make a large investment. GLAD everyone likes it, THANKS

Done! Rides nice and smooth, have a couple hundred miles on it. Very much worth all the hard work, nothing like riding something you built.
