That was borderline of a Religious experience. ) You were very methodical and detail oriented thru the whole process. Meticulous shop and organized. Super awesome cleaning/ polishing on the teardown. Freighting my scoot to you as we speak for 3 months in your parts rehab sauna. The retreat would do my bike some justice. lol Great job...My new friends, brass wheels and scotch brite works wonders. Compare this one to the picture above:
While I were at it I cleaned up my brake discs. Turned out pretty ok:
This is how I do most of my polisching/buffing, I just use different wheels. And the angle grinder with a scotch brite disc:
Kinda hard to make out how shiny this top tree really is, but here's a picture anyways:
This last one is 1,5 h total spent. Including splitting the fork and cutting off the tach and speedo mount by hand with an iron saw.

Your bike looks absolutely awesome, I am inspired!
I wonder if you know the size and length of the screws that are holding your fuel tank and coils to the Amen Savior frame? My AS frame came out of a barn and has none.
Okay, now I understand, I think I'll read about the entire evolution which should prove to be a good education. Thank you so much for sharing.Thanks Donnyfry.
I made bungs for my tank mount in my fram, since I don't like the idea of the structural weakness holes through the back bone of my frame brings.
As for my coils, I used whatever length needed to reach through that mount and still have enough threads on back to be usable as stearing stops.
I could get you some measurements, but I don't think it would do you any good since each setup is custom made by me. It all comes down to how you do yours.
Hey man. Thanks for the kind words.
There should be room for about an inch of spacers on the rear axle with the wheel on it and still center that wheel up.
What year wheel are you using? You got any pictures of the rear of it?
What caps do you mean? I'd need a picture there to to help you out.
