Thats a nice plug there Brandon, Frank should make these available to the forum, bet he would sell a few. Could they be made with a more rounded end with an allen key fitting in the centre..? Just a thought....

Cases together! Went together without a hitch except I went a little thick with the Three Bond. Now I just need some expensive stuff to finish the engine.

Looking good, brandEn! Cometic base and head gaskets and Gaskacinch, hmm, wish I had read that a couple months ago! I might be chasing some oil leaks soon.

Nice work Frank!
So, it stops the pesky oiler from dirty up the bike, what kind of maintenance will the chain need and how often as a result?

Nice build up!

Lookin' good! Can't wait until I get to tear into my engine. Just started teardown on the bike.

On an aside, do you work at Boeing? I'm an A&P down here in Texas, working on the little stuff haha.

Nice B. Did you ever find the missing cam tower bolt?

Stoli · « **Reply #109 on:** February 28, 2013, 05:22:56 PM »

So you're an A&P? That explains the meticulous work and the attention to detail. I'm a pilot. Currently on a 737. Love you guys. Keep up the good work, in the hangar and your garage.

Yes, I am an A&P mechanic (Airframe and Powerplant for those wondering) for a major airline here in Seattle. I work exclusively on 737 aircraft. Thanks!

Nice. I'm at the same point but looks like I'm tearing mine back down to replace the crank end seal. wah!

I just took a quick tour of your build. Great stuff! I will be watching this one. Never flew the 737 but I have about 5500 hours in the 767.

brandEn · « **Reply #114 on:** February 28, 2013, 08:16:23 PM »

Thanks Ed,
This project is moving along slowly but it will get finished.

brandEn · « **Reply #115 on:** March 01, 2013, 07:30:34 PM »

Picked up my frame and and some other pieces from powdercoating today. Everything turned out real nice. I also received my Hagon shocks. Couple other things I got got accomplished the last few days is I ordered a new seat from Ricky Racer at Classic Cycle City and I modified my galley plug to accept a pressure guage.

TAO lost its spot on the lift.

edhaeuser · « **Reply #116 on:** March 01, 2013, 07:51:29 PM »

Holy mother of shiny sweetness, that frame looks nice!

brandEn · « **Reply #117 on:** March 01, 2013, 08:08:03 PM »

YUP it is shiny.

Thanks.

Damn you! Don't make me go fancy

brandEn · « **Reply #119 on:** March 02, 2013, 08:35:34 PM »

Started putting a few things on today. Some just for a mock up. Polished a few bolts. Rebuilt my speedo drive and polished. Polished the caliper brackets. I had the one caliper I already had powdercoated and just picked up another and need to get that taken care of.

I need the part numbers for the two speedo drive seals. Anyone know where I can find them?

brandEn · « **Reply #120 on:** March 02, 2013, 08:58:55 PM »

For my own reference

Speedo drive large seal
Metric Oil Shaft Seal 34 x 48 x 07 double lip

Speedo drive small seal
?

Nice work brandEn. Jealous of your large workspace, too

brandEn · « **Reply #122 on:** March 03, 2013, 07:49:15 AM »

Thanks Rob, and its just a modest 2 car garage with not nearly enough room!

deafcaferacer · « **Reply #123 on:** March 03, 2013, 08:54:21 AM »

Very meticulous. Love how everything is coming together. Going to be a beaut!
