Coming along nicely. Good idea about opening motor.

You're cylinders *look* good, but you need to mic the bores and piston OD, calculate your ptw, and check your ring end gap to know for sure what is needed.
Great looking build, Im slowly building a 78 as well, but going the opposite direction, doing a dropseat instead of a hardtail, and keeping the front low with the lower tubes of the frame will run parallel to the ground.
Love the build so farComment

I see some scuffing there. Re-Ring, always. It may need more? Agree with above poster. You'll have to measure it.
It wouldn't take much of a scuff to be beyond a normal hone job, though. If you can feel it, it is probably too much.
Also, with that kind of oil (Because to me that looks like a lot) you'll want to check guides and probably get the heads done as long as you're this far. That kind of work here is crazy high and nobody does it well, so a set of S&S heads were not much more than getting mine fixed, and much, much easier.

It does look sort of weird. What you are seeing is what the cylinder is sitting on tho... Sort of reading thru-the-bore, if you will.Comment

so clean. that front end is exactly what im trying to go for.
Just got some mullins trees and now i need a skinnier front wheel to fit.
Are those just stock shaved lowers? what hub/rim?
Ive got the lowbrow tapered lowers and my 21x2.15 and 4" hub arent even close to fitting with the new treesComment

Thanks man, apricate it. I am super stoked on it. Spruce Street Fab built the seat pan and had a local low rider shop here in So Cal upholster it.Comment

Sweet rear rim. Did you have to piece it together yourself? Been looking for an assembled one with a shoulder just like this. Good looking build manComment
