Engine En

I have waited a long time to post this update. The engine is finally in. Man was that thing heavy! Tony and I put it in tonight with the help of a floor jack, but it sure was a tight fit. I think I'll be icing my back tonight! From here on out, I have a lot of odds and ends to tie up before I try and start it. I got my cyclex carbs in last week. Ken is extremely helpful up there in Wisconsin. They look great and I can't wait to put them on! Here are some updated pics.



Tony has taught me tons the past few months.

Thanks Tony! (He's opening his own shop soon- Anchor Cycles)

A work in progress, and finally a place to work on it other than my back porch!
