Ted has a 500 Dom, the 550F doesn't have a tooltray due to the snorkel that was fitted to that model. You need a tooltray Dom? Roo has a couple but I doubt they are cheap as they are as rare as hell. Most have the wire mesh rusted to hell as well so you need to replace that with some stainless steel stuff like Ted has
Good progress Ted. Why did you use copper rather than ss washers on the valve cover ? I would love to see a photo of those bolts you used next to the tappet covers on the front. Your engine paint looks great. I’m way behind now - haven’t rebuilt my carbs yet. Looking forward to your first start up. 👍
Just had a thought Ted, make sure the throttle thumb screw ramp in the R/H switchgear isn't wound up too high and is touching the throttle tube. That would make the throttle grab a little.
