The Tank And The Carb-
Both the Tank and the Carb are back on the bike now. You can already see a huge difference in this bike and it's much better than before. The parts are looking cleaner and things are getting put back into place. There's still some things to be done though, and as always, Skip is still hard at work to correct them. He's doing a great job so far, but it's getting close to Winter. Hopefully Skip will get enough done in time to ride before the cold weather hits.
We're starting to see some great progress with this bike. Skip is getting as much done as he can during his busy schedule, and is making some headway. This bike started out looking better from a distance, being as old and well ridden as it was. Before starting this project, you can see that this bike had character. And, as is with all bikes, this bike had a story. But the dings and dents which told that story, belonged to another rider. And this rider, wants to make his own story with this bike, so he's turning the page on this 76 sportster, and beginning anew with some re-built, tightened and polished parts. This bike is being resurrected and is getting another chance to take someone for a ride. Take a look at a few more improvements that Skip has made:
