Hi.
I'm nearly, nearly finished with the restoration of the Harley-Davidson WL. Over the next 3 weekends I have to :
- Make a small adjustment to the exhaust pipe to ensure a proper fit of the rear cylinder exhaust port - completed;
- This will require that I touch up the spray painting of the exhaust - completed;
- Fit the exhaust - completed;
- Fit the two handlebar pinch bolts - another one bites the dust;
- Fit the 3rd headlight mounting bolt and nut - and another one gone;
- Connect the gear selector - completed;
- Finish the stencilling of the tyre pressures on the rear fender;
- Fill the battery with battery acid;
- Check that all of the electrics work properly - 90% complete - I did find an issue with the dashboard light, but have fixed it;
- I might have to do a couple of small adjustments to ensure that all the lights, etc are working properly - done;
- Fit the fuel pipe - done;
- Do the final adjustments to the clutch - done;
- Fit the horn;
- Start the motorcycle and do the final adjustments to the ignition timing and the carburettor;
- Finish and fit the front fender - nearly completed.
Exhaust system fitted |
Tank gear selector connected |
Fuel line fitted |
It looks as if we would be able to start the motor this coming Saturday! I'll take a video of the proceedings and post it on YouTube and link the video to the blog.
ReplyDeleteJust spoke to Doepie and he is ill. It looks like I will have to postpone the starting to next weekend.
ReplyDeleteBut I will be able to finish the front fender and install it this weekend.
