I'm looking for a correct head light assembly if anyone has one they care to part with.

Beautiful work, great attention to detail. That will be one fantastic Chief when you are through.

Looks great. I’ve enjoyed following your work and progress!

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. My happiest moments are when I'm "tinkering" out in the shop.

The 1938 only gauges and ignition switch are beautiful; again this is a very nice, correct restoration and a pleasure to see come together.

Thanks and post some pics of your 38. I would love to see them. And yes the exhaust and rear chain guard are from Greer. The exhaust fit perfectly. The chain guard you have to locate on bike and the drill the holes for the mounting tabs. It took a little work to get everything aligned with proper clearances for chain, kicker & exhaust but it finally worked out.

Thanks for feedback about the exhaust.Pics will have to wait for now.

It's nothing too exciting, I could have bought this fuel line but where's the fun in that. I'll spare you all the cutting and bending stuff and just show the finish product.

That's looking great, Bill! Where did you source the "T" for the fuel line?

Great build love the pix, but why are you running 36-37 distributor?

You can find them on line, I just got them and the ferrules from Greer Engineering.

Because all I had was a 37 engine.
