Oil lines

Making the oil lines was the next thing to do on the list, these are -5 oil lines and fittings, not a normal size, the only way to get them is at a aircraft supplier. The BSA just like the Triumph gravity feeds oil to the motor the is pressurized back to the tank and then scavenges oil to the rocker box. This thing starting to look good, can't wait to ride it. More later.

Oil filter intall

After a ridged search I found an old Stilko Oil filter, this filter comes apart and you use a roll of toilet paper as the filter element. I made the bracket to fit in place of the trans mount spacer, hard lines are next. More to come...

Foot rest

Sometimes saying your a "Fabricator" in a world of Technicians and crappy Cable bolt it together T.V. shows, the word looses its luster. I am a Blacksmith, we make things out of nothing, we see the part in the stock metal, bending and shaping it to our will. We make the part because it is more personal and because it has style. This is the foot rest I made, the stock ones were hard to find and expensive when you do find them. These will fit around the exhaust better. The bike is getting closer and closer to being done. Not looking forward to the machine work or the bill that comes with it. More later.
