Mostly been doing rehab on my shoulder, and letting the broken bones heal up. The last couple weeks I have started putting the old shovelhead back together. It was bent up pretty good, but the frame is not damaged, so no worries. And while it was down anyways, and some of the parts were on back order, I decided to do some mods.

The motor get a new Andrews cam and a Crane adjustable electronic ignition, plus maintenance items like plugs and plug wires. I modified the front highway bar into a hidden oil cooler, which increased the oil capacity by over a quart and drops the operating temp about 40 degrees. Stainless steel oil lines completed the system.

A new Pingle high-flow petcock was added to the left tank, and the right tank was replaced. Stainless fuel lines were added, both to the carb and to connect the two tanks.

New Dunlop tires were fitted, along with a new rear master cylinder and extended brake pedal. The floorboards were replaced, and no I have to decide if I want to paint the new front fender and right side tank white to match, or remove the rest of the tins and do a color change...
