Super Awesome Boring Notes

No intro, just go:

Bolt sizes for top end:


Bolt size for new center head bolt: 3/8 BSF (need tap)

Plan of action:


  1. clean & paint exhaust for show
  2. paint stand for show
  3. go to show
  4. check existing bag of taps & dies for 3/8 BSF (& order if needed)
  5. disassemble motor, drill & tap case holes, reassemble motor
  6. build an electrical board for the boyer and a fuel/oil feeder IV for testing
  7. dial in ignition timing
  8. connect electrical, add oil, start motor
  9. take rolling frame to Mark's and install the engine CAREFULLY
  10. connect up rear wheel and rig temporary (read: duct taped) solution to test if bike will roll.
  11. start mocking up placement of seat, tank, battery, oil reservoir, and electricals
With my summer trip, it may come to pass that I'll only be capable of getting the rear wheel turning before I head out for a few months, but if everything comes to pass as planned, I'll ideally be back in Indy around the holidays and looking to crash for a while with family and friends.  I may rent-a-wreck and bribe Mark into letting me abuse his shop every day over the winter and learn to weld, creating a super-awesome frame and getting every last piece of the bike built, then torn apart and off to paint and stuff.

OR, if I can get in touch with Cliff Meyer, maybe I'll end up dropping the whole bike off with him for the summer, to fab the metalwork while I'm on tour.  That could work, too.

Anyway, it's smooth sailing from here, right?
