Heathkit boonie- FRANKENSTEIN BUILD

[smwtnbndr]

Started a new build last week. The Heathkit Boonie looks weird to me so I thought we would call this one Frankenstein. Fabbed the cover for the torque converter and will be adding more touches along the way with paint and other goolie treats. Front forks were so far gone I cut them apart and made new ones.

Thanks manchester1, the cover was actually difficult. When you are used to brass brazing and making it look good, its tough to make it look frankensteinish!!!

Throttle works great. To avoid a lot of linkage fabrication I modified a grip throttle. Now I have simple adjustment on the cable.
