Did some more part polishing before Duck Dynasty tonight, the one of the left is before, sort of. I soaked them for about a half hour to loosen up the crud. 

 After the show I decided to see what was goin' on in here, my limited knowledge and manual tells me everything seems to be in order, I'm wondering how much this bike was ever really ridden

This goober sucks. I don't know why that seemed like the best idea.

I think I am going to try and save/salvage the original sissy bar, it needs the fender bracket welded back on, and some shaping, but I think it'll be pretty cool

 The Vancouver moisture was starting to attacked the oil tank, and I had only wire wheeled it last winter, didn't start sandin' yet man

Took me about 4 Bocephus records to get this far, up to 1500 grit paper, once I get some money comin' in, she'll get a nice polish, then you can check out babes in it without bein' a creep.
Or is that creepy? I don't know man

View from my outside window. It's a good thing you can't walk past it, I know if I saw this view I'd be buggin' this dude all the time to hang out, and Lord knows I don't like people tryin' to hang out

 I pulled the engine this afternoon, which was easier than I remember, I must be tougher this time...

 I don't own an engine stand or a welder so I just threw it up on this table.

 They didn't pull the engine when they painted it with housepaint, and there's a couple drips of white paint inside where you don't really see

Looks good to me, but I don't know all that much, I quit for the night so I can do some reading and make sure I do things right. I need new gaskets for sure. and those 4Aces dvds. 

Man, I've been thinking it might be pretty cool to just take the BSA back to how it was originally. A rough restoration I guess. I wish I had the original seat, I was looking at the photo and it looks like he took a king & queen, then cut the queen segment off so it was like a cushy drag seat? And he didn't sew it up either, just folded it under and bolted it on. Rad. 

My plans change more than my underwear but for now I think this is what I might do. 

Started cleaning and polishing parts, messing around in the electrical box. Was fairly surprised that it was so organized, I expected to find at least a dead mouse and fire damage.

I heard it's not cool in choppers to clean or polish parts. So that's what I'm doing all weekend. Being cool is for squares man

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Click the photo for more photos of babes eh

 Man, I just wanted to take that fuckin' gay front fender off. I didn't think I'd have to take apart the brake and take the wheel off. I don't think that wheels been off since 1974 man. Probably good that I did, considering the brake "pads" just disintegrated in my hands.

Just mocked up back in place, got my bates headlight back(yeah, I'm that cool)
Looks about 80 thousand times better sans that fender.
