is looking good ray.
is that the same drive train from number 35 ?
Thanks...
Everything is brand new with the exception of the S&S gear drive cams and possibly the throttle body.
We may replace the throttle body with a top secret, NO BUTTERFLY unit that's in testing stages.

Ray, the upper mount for the rear shock will experience a lot of load. Will the tube twist that it is welded to?
That is a nice build. Lots of good thinking and craftsmanship.
Still in progress.
Thanks for the good eye. Will check it out.

Nice installation. Since the original family re-acquired Aerocharger, that seems to be the place to hang then, not out in the wind like the early kits.
Thanks,

Fridays progress.

Thanks to Rick Tedder out of Salem and a great shop we're on target for the BUB Speed Trials Aug 25-30.
The past week we've tagged teamed the build and made great headway.
Back to the shop for a Saturday session.

Saturday progress.
Started laying the fuel system out....
Tuesdays changes and progress.
I like how you're mapping out the fuel lines before you cut and assemble. My tendency has always been to start at one end and just go. A little planning could, in some instances save the odd redo.
Nice work Racer. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
Pete
What are those red cylinder looking things in Picture 1021?
Fuel filters..
Ray

Very nice Racer, how fast do you plan to go?
Thanks.......

We are only running Speedweek this year but I will follow your build after Bub's and see what she ran.
We run a 1000cc turbo XL in Modified class, the bike ran as fast as 138 last year, we are hoping to see 150mph :cheers:
Thanks and good luck..
Go Fast, Ride for your Life!

Air Tech is shipping the bottom half of the fairing, Pegasus Performance is finishing the machine work, House of Thunder parts dept. has a few pieces coming in today for the fuel tank, battery headed this way, Spyke starter and electrics also on the way.
We expect start up early next week in Napa.
Today my hot rod is on the rack in Hollister at the Corbin Magic Shop for body work and tail section modifications.
