I found a bike that is a bit newer that was involved in a crash but the motor made it unscathed, bought it, and started the transplant of the motor from one frame to the other.
The frame that I got had a whole bunch of little things on that are still in very good condition, that mainly makes the projet a little better aesthetically. What a great experience working on something old and having spares right there on hand, little things like a power cable that still has all the little rubber end covers on, handle bar controls that have not been through the war and so on.
I also got my bike lift working and the project bike is now mounted on the lift. this makes it wonderfull working since the bike can easily be moved around the workshop and is a little higher so no more back breaking bending over or sitting on the cold cement floor.
Currently I'm waiting for some spares to service the front brake master cylinder and a new brake light switch for the front brakes. Hopefully everything works and we will have this bike back on the road within the next month or two! hope to keep you posted!
