62 FL Chop Rebuild 26

Still need to get the fuel supply hooked up....

Swapped out the handlebars for the "new" risers and flat bars...

Lookin' good so far....

Plenty of clearance at the tank, both sides...
And lots of turning angle, real helpful when
moving the bike around in tight spaces....

Yeah, that '55 in the background is my other current project....

I share this shop space with a couple of other guys,
I have one stall, can get both the bike and a car/truck in my space....

Added the front master cylinder and the clutch lever....

Put some of that shellac I have on a screw and nut, let it dry...

And put it in a jar of gasoline to see what happens to it...
It's 93 octane and is E10, that's what we have around here....

Picked up this fuel petcock from a local shop,
Will keep an eye on it, as we do have E10 fuel here,
and I'm told these petcocks have seals in them
that do not hold up well around E10 gas....

Got the best fit with the petcock outlet hose barb
aimed to the left, had some clear hose, so hooked
that up for the time being, can easily change it out later if needed....

Also keeping the fuel hose from touching the pan covers
to minimize any heat transfer to the fuel line...

Even though there's a screen in the tank on the petcock,
and I kept the original screen on the Linkert fuel feed inlet,
I put another fuel filter on the line to see what might be coming through....

Mounted the hi-lo beam switch on the left side, and the mag kill button on the right,
Gettin' kinda busy lookin' up there on those bars, might be able to
figgur out something better later on, but for now....
