I'm making progress

Well - a little anyway.

Got my new drag bars in the mail.  I've got them sitting on the bike right now - I think they look pretty good.


I also added a bar end mirror that my friend Alex gave me.  

Got a new air cleaner for the AMAL 376 carb.  It has a paper filter, vs just the small screen that came on the stock filter.  The carb rebuild kit is on the bench, so I'll probably do that soon as well.



I'd really like to get the engine off of the frame this weekend, and maybe pull the front fork apart as well.  That may be a bit over ambitious though.

Finally - I ordered a new seat from the guys at Roc City Cafe Racers in Rochester, NY. It's a handmade aluminum seat that he's going to custom make to my dimensions. Here is what I ordered, except with Blue welt:


Sean seems really nice, and has some fantastic stuff on his site.

So - it's coming together.....
