Six engines almost done, just waiting on parts to come back from plating. The sixth engine is a 108cc rolling rocker head.
The rear fender is spaced out with a bracket on top, and a spacer on the lower mount. With a 55mm extension on the swingarm, this makes it fit better.
Some of the ugly before on the stator. This was pretty typical. The ponts and condenser get replaced, some fresh cloth tape is used on the coils, new black sheathing, a new four prong plug and connectors, and a fresh grommet from Honda.
The rear fender extension bracket is 45mm long.
The bottom rear fender lower spacer, also 45mm.
Some of the wheels and hubs getting worked over.
A necklace I have been working on for my wife...just kidding. When blasting and wire wheeling the hardware, a coat hanger makes it a lot easier and faster.
Prior to powder coat. The difference between the two swingarm lengths can be seen.
The 1976 front fork legs were extended 30mm. Because these were fresh fork legs and the welded portion is concealed inside the fork, they did not have to be re-chromed.
The rear fender lower spacer and a pile of Honda spacers, grommets and washers needed to mount it. When you are buying the parts for 4 or 5 bikes, it adds up!
