Here's the front view.  Yup, perfect-- and all day tomorrow to ride.  Life is good-- as long as that weld holds.  I'll let you know how I did.
The truly magnificent $205 Fuji Finepix 2300 digital camera had filled up all three of my smart media cards so I went upstairs and used the ultra cool USB cable to suck them into my computer.  By the time I surfed the net a little it was dark but I took a few pics of the bike anyway.  Pretty dramatic huh?  This bike has shovelhead FXE sheet metal and a Ness dash cover.   I run a nice set of bags Denton sold me dirt cheap (he sold me the sheet metal too).   I've had this bike 20 years and I love it more every year.  I really love it when it doesn't fall over when I kick it.
Here's the show side of the bike.  I threw the sprocket cover in the trash and fabbed up a steel bracket for the kick starter.  I mount the battery in the front in that swoopy bracket you can just make out.  I need to redesign it though-- this fender just touches it at full jounce.  That's a project for another day.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape.  We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box.  (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages.  Minimal graphics and no audio without request.  Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content.  We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad.  We believe engineering and technology are an art.  Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking.  Feel free to use the files and materials on this site.  Good luck with your projects.
