I will have to figure out the pics. I may now use the drum rear. But I got the engine spinning over and it has oil pressure. [Sat for years] I love this forum. I gotta get my big brother hooked up here. He was a Honda Mechanic then Kawi's

Thanks...

 How far I've come. That chopper turned into a restomod diecast, then a sandcast original bike, 3 400F's, K4, K1, K3, 79GL, cl100, cb900c, xs850, 6 parts 750's, another K0, a mod K1 and turbo K2 drag bike, a big bore/stroker K2, My brothers bought new K4, 77K/F, 75F, triple disc 76F, another 76F, a 77F, a 750A, T350. Two of the 750's went to England with DSS. Oh, 1980 KZ1000, wife's 1999 XR70R, 1984 Yamahopper pit bike, 60's 3.5hp cat slingshot mini bike.
 That chopper bike frame is still on the shelf with pullback handlebars, long cables and the 6" over forks are up there too.

It was a stocker extended with 1/8"plate in the front. Never got used and sorry I didn't see the Q? while you were around.

I read that from the top and thought you were putting that new intro in as an April Fool's joke until I noticed the date.  ;D
