    Cotten, that’s a good bit of information you just shared. I didn’t realize that nickel M6 was pre 40’. The carb retains about 90% of its original nickel plating, I don’t know why it appears so light in that picture. Judges seem to adore the DLX108’s for their authenticity. Most of mine with the exception of one are on the shelves. Good place for them. I have all the components to make the other M6 correct, that’s the way I found it. It has been Harleyized.

      108s can be just as reliable, Flathead101!

      They are just far more difficult to "blueprint".

        I finished this 37’ Chief several months ago. Here’s the finished project. It goes down the road faithfully. “Old Indians never die”. IMG_1201-compressed.jpeg

                Thanks everyone for the nice compliments. Duke it was nice riding with you last summer up at Kevin’s, hopefully he makes it an annual ride. Take care Glen.
