Hello Matt Blake

I want too say thank you Matt Blake for calling me personally on the phone today and helping me getting the problem resloved. Your call and appreciation over the phone just went a ton of miles with me, first class.

Right on Mike!, I have been waiting to hear you had the Scout out. Was wondering how it went? surprised and shocked to hear the hinge broke, hope it did not mess up the beautiful paint. That's an awesome Sport Scout. I hope as you do, that it runs as good as it looks. Best of luck with it.

Tom,

It broke on the hinge, unreal as it was all mounted and happen while I was driving down the road last night. This rear fender came from Jerry Greers who inturn got it from Matt Blake at Iron Horse. So, I am going to take pics today and than show Matt and Todd both. It my honest opinion its unexceptable at $400 for a fender. The upper fender was scratched a tiny bit.

I road the Scout today for the First time about 6 miles, all went well. I have a few small adjustments too make. The rear hinge on the fender broke, so I will be sending an email to the Company i got it from and hopefully the manufacture will correct this? Anyway, here she is minus the speedo cable, speedo drive, chain guard and crash bars. Its getting much closer.

The bike now runs, I started it today. I havent made any adjustments at all so I havent ridden the bike but I will tomorrow. So far its running very well and pumping oil good.

Scott,

Today I was inches from starting the bike only to find out the battery was dead and I ran out of time as i had to leave and go pick up kids and do things around the house. So, maybe tomorrow morning if all goes well. I am still waiting for my chain guard to be painted and I have to still place the crash bars on the bike. The last thing to add is my rear speedo drive and cable. Almost finished, very close. Than I can nit pick certain things on it but its damm close ready to ride.

Mike
you do realize that I will have to inspect that bike, to make sure it meets AMCA judging standards. should not take too long, only 2 or 3 years

He fixed alot of stuff and only charged me for materials....there is still some great guys around in this hobby. Looking forward to seeing how it goes for you as you get it rollin. Scott

Beautiful! I just took a rode trip with my brother and he was grinding on me to get my 39 Injun on the lift to repair the raggedy trans that is keeping it from being a dependable rider. Thanks for the inspiration Mike.

Kyle thank you!

Eric,

The guy who painted my bike is a local painter here in Corona CA and he works for a paint company, so he knows his paints well. His name is Ed Aguilar, email him and ask him.
