I bought this bike just over two years ago. It was in terrible condition: Not going, missing a few bits, very little compression, badly oxidised, damaged and rusted out. I have had some fingers fused, other have replacement joints due to RA, So, my hands don't work very well anymore and every job takes 10 times longer than it should. I have great trouble using screwdrivers, spanners and the like and only use a hammer if I have no option - extremely painful. I can never ride the bike so I'm in no hurry to finish it, it's really only a testbed for some of my mods: Single points conversion, PMA conversion, oil cooler conversion, spin on filter conversion and so on.
I do all work myself and never buy anything I can make: Machining, polishing, painting, mechanical, electrical, fabrication, upholstery, welding, designing, spoking, anodising and so on. Some of the stuff I've made: Tail light, seat pan, headlight brackets, side panels, PMA mount, point cam, backing plate, spin on filter mount, cooler mount, instrument mount, risers, exhaust, battery box, exhaust brackets and clamps, brake anchor and actuating train, cable splitter.
