Finally cooled down and got some work down

The weather finally cooled down for a few days after the week long heat wave of +38 degrees Celsius (i.e. 100F) so I managed to get a few things done:

Tank - brass spinner gas cap, some old school graphics, pingel old school brass petcock

Speedo - Drag Specialities white face gauge (body painted satin black of course)

Springer - changed the chrome springs to black

Springer all done....painted and fitted

More smoothing out the welds

Decided to smooth out all the welds on my Springer as wanted to go for a real old school look.

Before

After a few hours with round file, all done.

Springer has arrived

All the way from the good old USA, a custom made springer for my build with a brass upgrade.

Fitted up perfectly (sorry about the crappy picture...too much sunshine)

Big thanks to Chad Pearson from Pearson Customs, sent him all my measurements and fitted up perfectly.  Check out his website at www.pearsoncustoms.com
