    Oh, the brass is just a sheet like a door kick plate. I was going to use it to cover my battery. The original cover is missing a tab and the spring on the pin so it falls off. I plan to use the copper plate for the flanges and depending on how much is left and where the holes line up, I'll use...

    Darn When I first decided to go copper, the down tubes and exhaust were prime targets, but I still hadn't figured out how I would attach them to the heads. Your method works quite nicely, I might have to try something similar. Payday is Friday, we'll have to see what I can find in the scrap...

    I should add that I had to kick the radiator out about 3/4" to get that clearance with the belt/fans. Hey, Canuckxxxx, were you suggesting that you might be willing to part with that beauty?

    So That's 7 months worth of tinkering and budgeting. New work will be slow as I'm getting used to monthly paychecks (after a year and a half of being paid weekly), but here's where i'm at: For fun, I want to put copper pipes off of the exhaust. 2" pipe ought to slide right onto the seals on the...

    The side panels didn't come out quite the way I wanted them, so I'm going to re-paint them. When they're done, the riveted straps will go all the way down them too. And here's where she sits today! Ya, I'm kinda nervous myself when I ride it to work...

    Somewwhere in that mess, i had jacked up the front end and while it was free, I found out the steering head bearings were crap. So I replaced them and threw on a set of drag bars. Time for more copper! I broke out some more fun creativity with the next bit of copper. I got a pair of brake/tail...
