finally got the bike pretty much wrapped up and ready for the North East summer. Still have a few things to do, and my buddy is doing the bondo work on my new tank so I'm running my old one for now. But it rolled around town today no major problems so I'm happy.

My friend Brady taking it for a spin around the block:

I have a question - for anyone familiar with these K model/Ironhead rear drums. I flipped the brake arm so it faces down, and when I put the brakes on a hear a bit of a clunk. Is that normal, or does it have something to do with my brake arm being reversed? Thanks, Mike
