Got to work and started to think, made my decision and left work early. The Pan was in my garage that night and I started to tare her down.
I was going to build her my way and I was going to do it myself. I built the motor (except for the bottom end), went 2" under on the fork tubes, switched from a 6 volt to a 12 volt electric system, changed the tranny lid and went to a foot shift/hand clutch setup, 21" front tire with stainless spokes, bobbed rear fender, kept the 3 1/2 gal. tanks, apehangers with stock risers, S&S carb, S&S oil pump, Sifton cam and short turnouts for exaust, also went with a primary belt drive. I wanted to try and paint it myself (something I had never done) so I bought myself a Binks #7 and a can on "House of Color" candy Brandywine and went to work.
It took a year, I would push the bike around on my creeper.

Sorry about the messy garage- it's not the norm.
