Chopper is back on the road

So, my bike has been on the lift for the last few weeks. The screw holding the ignition rotor to the cam shaft sheared off and i needed to have the machine shop fix it up for me. Had to pull a good chunk off the engine apart just to get the cam out. And then it took 2 weeks for me to get the cam back. Good part is it only costs me $30.

So I got the cam reinstalled. Had to learn the proper procedure for adjusting pushrods and lash. And installed the new ignition that Ted sent me FOR FREE. Thanks, dude. Hi-4 programmable ignition. Looks pretty in there. I set the timing at 30 degrees advance and adjusted the idle.

And while i was at it I had a couple other little items that have needed attention. My throttle clamp had a stripped out screw hole. Fixed. My license plate bracket was bugging me and my tail light was falling apart. New mount and new light. Used a light I had laying around that we took off of Treys bike a while ago. Hope the cops don't give me shit, but it is WAY better looking.

Feels really good to have my bike back together and on the road. Gonna take Kelley out to a concert tonight. Should be fun.
