Managed to get something accomplished this weekend after dealing with a flat tire on the bike. The first pictures are of the gas pedal, I took the wagon right hand drive won and re molded it. Did this so I could use the throttle cable and hand throttle, plus the pedal has a rubber pad and is a little bigger. Stock 40 is the first pick.

Well cruiser heads, didn't get much done this weekend but still got a step closer to get it done. The first set of pics are of the rocker shaft that rob was to lazy to change, HAHA.

I also got the fenders hanging, along with the bib. So now all I have to get is an air filter cause the stock box would not fit. Plus I have to modify the drive shaft and wire in the marker lights and add a Rad support on the driver side. So hopefully next weekend will be the big day.

You have a couple 40 series air cans that would work nicely or modify a 60???

Well sorry I haven't posted any pics but for information sake I have been driving the beast since sunday evening and working some of the kinks out. First impressions are that it is a great cruising engine but boggs on the hat, but this could be due to bad timing, which I will find out on fri. It is a lot quieter than the 350. Has nice torque from start but flattens out, hopefully I will get a chance to take it out this weekend. Ill put pics up when I take some of the finished product.
MY HJ FELT THE SAME WJICH IS WHY I TURBO'D IT. IT IS CRYING OUT FOR YOU TO GIVE IT THE FORCED INDUCTION IT NEEDS.

And the last ones here are of the final look and you'll notice the airbox which is from a Delica. I am going to have to modify the inlet a little more to let it breathe better.
