My hat's really off to you guys who can build a beautiful bike, going thru all the expensive particulars, and diligent detail. I find enough work in just making them run and ride satisfactorily.
There's a ton of forgiveness in being a rat-runner, though. You know how the kicker scrapes the muffler on worn shafts and bushings? Well, when you run second-hand (swap-meet specials) pipes on an "older restoration" it's legal to club a dent in there for clearance. Anybody want to quote the otherwise fix?
