My assistance will be limited; that's all dependent on how far out you plan on doing this, as I am sorta still in the healing stages. The farther out you put the king pins out, the more of an assistance I can be.
But whenever you decide to do them, pm or call.
Thanks, neighbor
Sure thing Augie, It will be awhile though I still have some parts to gather.

Today I did some more plumbing on my HB. I am still trying to decide how I am going to do the return line for the steering gear. I would like to do the dual line reservoir. Anyway here are some pictures.The big loop in the bottom of the return line will be shortened. I just stuck it on there to keep crapola out.

I managed to get a good cowl vent cover for a bird bath hood today. I think it was the only good part left on the truck. It must have been somebody's parts truck. there were a bunch of parts missing and a bunch of mismatched junk parts in the the unbolted bent bed.

It's a Diamond Eye. And thanks. I kind of wish I had moved the muffler back about 4". but if i get a HX35 it will go back a bit.
