Speedshop interruption

I had some delay in the Speedshop recently.

I went with some friends to the Motor Bike Expo in Verona, Italy.
Awesome happening both the city and the fair itself but mostly all the amazing people I met during the stay!
Inspiration for my own projects got itself a rise of course but the path for the projects for now are quite ready. But some planned details will be reworked.

Last minute adding

Just before the deconstruction I discovered that the voltage regulator had been forgotten.
So a simple bracket had to be made and welded in between the front legs.
Not at all a time consuming job at this point but if I had discovered it when the bike was done it would have been a slight drawback for sure.

First a bit of iron. 

Angle the ends and after that just drill two holes. 

Some quick work with the TIG and a suddenly I had a voltage regulator bracket. 

Final weld

So it was time for deconstruction and to transform bad tackwelds to hopefully not so bad final welds.

Taking out a Sportster engine alone ain't easy.

 I put it on a scale after and a Sportster engine is about 70kg/150lbs

Nice to finally have full access to all previous cramped areas to Weld. 

I also used my trusty carpenter style workbench to get the frame in to the right positions.
