Nice work Karen. I still need a sissy bar Is this ready to ship?

 

[manchester1]

I need to find a box and get the shipping quote. I'll PM you when I'm ready. Thank you.

Ok, no hurry was hoping to have sissy bar in tow so I could install it. No luck yet!

No luck on the sissy bar. Apparently he can not get the proper dye made for his bender. Do not sit on the seat without the sissy bar. The sissy bar supports the back of the seat.

I was looking at the photo of the seat, thought that was a sewing machine on your table....... looks like an HS 40, nice!

Had a NOS muffler like the one on your motor, sold it and bought this rare Ruttman vintage over the counter pipe.

Nice piece Karen, I'll take that one!
Picked up a clutch guard off eBay. Just have to "work it over" to make it work I'll post other photos when I get around to polishing it.

polished and ready to go to the chrome shop

Looking for anyone that can post photos and dimensions if possible of the mount brackets for this guard. They are different than the ones for my Briggs & Stratton since it mounts to an HS40

How about this seat! Stellar work Karen!

 

[manchester1]

Thank you.

Picked up the cover from the chrome shop today.

Wow, looks awesome. You have a great chrome shop. That was FAST.

So here's the story with chrome and most chrome shops. The laborious part of chrome plating is the prep work. THAT'S why it take so long. The rougher the part (rust, dents etc.) the longer it takes, the more it cost. I prepare every part my self, metal finishing, grinding, and polishing. Its like painting a car, start with 40 grit end with 3000 only a little more difficult. Because I do my own work, my shop only "hangs and plates" that's it. I usually get my parts back the next day or two.

That's awesome. I did see how nice and clean you had that clutch guard.
