so, the build continues and i sink into further minutea, turning fasteners to resemble titanium from the pro-bolt catalogue, i needed some of the period correct 'showa racing service' stickers for the fork leg lowers, eventually tracked them down to lamb-shank, illinois, spent two weeks cleaning up the engine covers and still not satisfied, sent them off for blasting and powdercoating, an age cleaning out threads, jointing surfaces and re-mounting stator's, bearings, blah, blah, blah. why bother? well, it's for real, if you want the easy option go and get someone to build your bike for you, it's a lot less hassle ain't it gary?
One can always buy a bike, but buying means compromising. Building a bike... completely different cup o' tea.
