I'm finally putting my 79 Shovel back together. I'm running a 90 cubic inch stroker motor. I had the frame and swingarm powdered coated. I am eliminating the electric start. Most of my bikes are kick start only anyway.
Painted the jugs while the motor was out of the frame.
Motor and Tranny back in the frame. The Tranny is a 5 speed a friend put together for me.
I welded a tab on to the swingarm. This is to allow the use of a modified new HD brake.
Had to clean up the inside of the swingarm from over spare from the powder coat before pressing the races in. Just rubbed it with some 1000 grit sand paper and left the races on ice.
I need to purchase a larger diameter brake rotor.
I went with a 3" open primary
Had to cleanup the inside of the frame neck the same as the swing arm before inserting the bearing cups.
That is my Fathers 59 pan. Thought I would post that for shits and giggles.
