Re: 69 BSA Rocket3 Chop aka the Unholy Virgin
I started putting my engine back together.Got the cases buttoned up.
...Tomorrow I will hopefully have the tranny back in & maybe slide it in the frame.

Re: 69 BSA Rocket3 Chop aka the Unholy Virgin
Got the tranny all done.My rims are all together & on.
We'll see how long it takes me to true them.I pretty much finished the cross over for my shifter.Went from right side shift to left.....Jockey shift.

Re: 69 BSA Rocket3 Chop aka the Unholy Virgin
I finally rolled it outside for the first time in its almost completed state.Some of the stuff is on just temp. so I can finish making up brackets & what not.But its gettin close.Unfortunatly I'll have to wait till I go back to work to finish up the engine.The place I had taken all the hardware & all nuts & bolts to have cleaned apparently lost a good amount of shit.Its been nickel dimin me to death......welll here she is almost done....needless to say I'm gettin psyched.
.This may sound a little weird but this is one of my favorite parts on the bike....my shifter.

I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Re: 69 BSA Rocket3 Chop aka the Unholy Virgin
I spent the day making the top motor mounts,& hangers for my carbs.The hangers took a long time to make.Lots of bending & checking.Ya can hardly see them, but the carbs are rock solid.Also spent a little time figuring how I'm gonna route the cables.I picked up some material to start on my foot controls.
