Ok boys and girls, Caroline and I are getting closer to the begining of the building, so get ready for the updates to start coming in again! I just compiled a shopping cart of goodies over at Dime City Cycles and should have it in in about two weeks....well most of it, some is back ordered. Anyway, I will have enough to get me going good so stay tuned!

Oh, and don't tell Caroline about the DCC order, its her Christmas presents!

I will get some pics up when it all comes in!

Yeah man! I can not wait to see what you have in store Brother Twisted!

Awesome. We'll be doing rebuilds at the same time! This is good because you can farm some stuff to me and vice versa! I know about Caroline's surprise already and I can't wait to see the goodies!

Alright...I can't wait to tell someone who cares....so I'm spilling the beans here!

Very nice... looking forward to seeing the progression.

BWAHAHAHA

Brother Twisted you did an awesome job wrapping your headers! They look really nice!

I LOVE wrapped headers and pipes. Just about every bike I build has it.

Thanks guys, I really took my time and planned it out well before I started. The whole header is done in four pieces. I wrapped the 2 outside pipes from about half their length back to the head end, then (third piece) wrapped the 2 left side pipes from the collector up to the bend where they split, then continued that piece all the way up the inside left pipe to the head end. I then began the fourth piece at the end of the pipe close to the part where the can will attach and wrapped it over the collector until the split of 2 one way and 2 the other way (2 of them on the left were already wrapped). I continued wrapping the 2 unwrapped ones until the split of them, where I continued the same piece all the way up that inside pipe to the head end. I am not sure that makes sense, but I guess if you were wrapping a 4 cylinder header, you could get it.....Maybe!!!!

Yeah, I'm excited waiting for the final pics.

Brother Twisted that is one of the nicest header wrap jobs I have ever seen and as with everything I have seen you do your craftsmanship is beautiful!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, and I promise there is a lot to come! Brother Joey, thank you sir, your words really mean a lot coming from a craftsman like yourself! I try to hold all of my work to a high standard, which was something my father really nailed into me about my work.

Got in the CDI today! Now only waiting on one last back ordered part!

Here is a pic of it all together minus the one remaining part. I can't wait to get started....I am so excited!

As soon as the holidays are over I will be getting started. My wife has some surgery stuff for us to go through, so that will slow me down some while I take care of all that. As soon as she gets well though, I will hit this build head on all out until Caroline is done and lighting the streets on FIRE!
