Im gonna give it a good shake down.
Modify suspension, engine check,repaint and more.
First i stripped the bike to parts.
It was a nice thing to notice that the long stand still didnt do any harm.
Thin that pissed me of was the Henry Abe kit and lack of spare parts. So i ordered std jug and pistons.

First to mod is the oil tank.
Its made from fire extinguisher like many are. I wanted to hide the battery.

Mounting the battery in the oil bag will expose it to high temperatures, which will drastically shorten it's life.

Yeah thats true. I remember that the oil tank was never too hot to touch so i think the temp will easily stay under 55c°. First decree burn appears around 50c°.

My oil bag definitely gets HOT to the touch. Perhaps you can line the battery sleeve with some material to shield it from the heat. This has been done before pretty recently.

Batteries in the bucket are pretty commonplace... Put something around it should help...

topperharley · « **Reply #30 on:** November 09, 2015, 12:18:11 PM »

Yes. I will insulate the battery.
Btw. I have to say that here up north the problem usually is how not to get hypotermic when biking

We are lucky to get 50°F

....still waiting for the gasget kit. There was 4-7 weeks delivery notice.

Intake rubbers arrived from japan. Pretty good quality. Wont see the difference from the originals. I hope that the rubber material is good too.

back to stock on the top end?bill

topperharley · « **Reply #34 on:** April 02, 2016, 04:04:52 AM »

Yep. 750cc. I tryed to find a ring set for that H.A kit but after 3months i gave up. Even Top Seal didnt answer to my emails.
One company in Italy has got all the sizes and shapes pistonrings but minimum order is 100pc.

I found a stock cylinder and pistons with rings from ebay. They were shipped from Milwaukee.

Hey, just found this build, cool bike!

topperharley · « **Reply #42 on:** April 10, 2016, 05:31:51 AM »

Electrics are almoust done. I kept it simple.
Only front and tail lights. No singnals yet. I have to find a pair that looks good and can be fitted on the handlebar.
Next up is oil lines and exhaust.
After that the first attemt to start.

topperharley · « **Reply #43 on:** April 11, 2016, 07:17:59 AM »

Jihaa!!! Drove it for first time. Oil pressure and other funktions seem to be allright.
Little bit more tlc and il be taking it for a spin after 9 years.

Buckskin Bandit · « **Reply #44 on:** April 11, 2016, 07:23:04 AM »

topperharley · « **Reply #47 on:** April 13, 2016, 02:34:02 AM »

Thanks bill. Il wait a few weeks before i take it on the road. Its still below zero in the mornings.

What do you guys recommend for electronic ignition?
There are few labels on stores but what would be best price / quality?

same here,weather is still cool,and not in a good way!bill

topperharley · « **Reply #49 on:** April 16, 2016, 08:18:30 AM »

couldnt help my self. Yesterday i drove 20km. What a awesome feeling to drive a bike that you built your self ( for the second time). The suspension worked fine too. Only the wiring problem ( solved) and a small oil leak ( working on it) spoiled my day.

I had to take a small Daniels shot again
