Billy, thank you for that kind offer, but as I have now sorted what I want I will respectfully decline your offer this time round.

No red Pete, it will be royal blue candy over a silver flake base, finished of with variegated gold leaf flames. It's amazing what one goes through when you buy a bike. Originally all I was going to do was rebuild the cam and put it back on the road, but my old school brain cells kept looking at everything that was just so wrong with it and just have to put it right as it should be. I want something that will not only turn heads but be something to be proud off!

HaHa, don't worry about the cabling, it will all be changed, just on for convenience at the moment. The clutch cable is so long due to me getting rid of the original silly wheelbarrow handlebars that were so wide and looked so wrong. See my profile pic.
Thanks for all the kind remarks.
And Roy, all criticism is good, good or bad, I can take it. lol

19/3/16 Front brake rod connected
 Rear brake rod connected. I ended up having to chop up a brand new rod to make it 2 inches longer.
 Gear change rod nicely hidden out of sight
 Needed to hide an ugly hole
 Nicely done
 Well, she has arrived back home now all the major fabrication work has been done

Thanks for your replies, my problem is that I don't have a standard set up. I am running an aftermarket chopper oil tank and not sure if any oil would come out of the crank breather or how I would connect to my tank. If it is not necessary to connect to the oil tank then that would solve my problem.

Right, a rookie question. My engine has two breathing points, one on the cam cover and one on the crankcase. I am sure that I saw a picture once, quite a while back of the crankcase pipe attached to the oil tank. Is this correct or should both pipes just exit under the bike?

11/3/16 Forward control brackets welded in place.
Forward controls mounted.
First sit on the bike with everything just about in place.
Damn, that engine is wide!

Any one of those should work no problem. It is the paint thickness/viscosity that is the important factor as well as how much air/paint. Try it out on some old cardboard, start with the paint as low as posible and slowly let more paint through and see how it sits on the surface as you don't want any runs. Don't spray too dry and don't spray too wet. Find the happy medium. And as always the yardstick is, it is better to spray 3 light coats than one heavy one.
