I like it! Doesn't need paint, looks good raw!

Yeah I like the raw look too.

It looks great now, and maybe even better with a suitable paint job 
But besides the great looks, I am really curious about the weight, ready to ride (i.e full tank of fuel) And also about power and power band

id like to see where the weight is myself. I -know- mines at 243 with almost 2 gallons of fuel ready to ride. since its -basically- the same, id like to see where danny landed. Im going to guess 8-10 lbs heavier. (mags, inverted forks, etc)

looks great danny.

you know... they make a suitable paint....

Love it. Great job. 
Maybe, ? paint the tank only, same color as wheels,

I really dig it!

Painting the tank only would ruin it in my opinion, I think it's all or none when doing a build like this.

Thanks guys! I also really like the raw look but I am going to paint the whole thing.  My Dads old race boat is the inspiration for the paint job, also where the 27 comes from.  The paint job will be very subtle and very 70's!!

Mark, I will be surprised if it's not at least 10 lbs. heavier than yours.

Well, I fired it up tonight, started on the second kick.  I rode it around the block a little, still need to verify timing and a few other odds and ends.  I don't know how to post video here, maybe Mark or Joe can if they have time.  Thanks to anyone who helped!!

[Jspooner]

I tried Danny. I don't know how either 😩. Maybe mark will do it.

you need to upload it to you tube and share it, or another hosting servcie.

i'll try to get it uploaded tomorrow.

btw, good work danny, sounds good.

Yes, I was a little worried too and was going to make a second bolt somehow/where..  the fender is actually quite thick and so are the mounts.  It's strong as hell and I don't see an issue.  It's actually a Harley fender and no matter how thick you think it is...  it's thicker..😁. You would hate it😀

The fender is steel, I would weld some flat stops to the fender brackets so the bolts can not rotate.  This would capture the fender in position and the bolts
  would only hold the fender on.

Well, 5 years and 3 months since I started and it's finally done..  it was worth the wait!!!!!
