Many thanks to all who have answered my many question, with out this forum I would have never attempted this project you guys are truly great

.

I took a bad fall getting out of a bobcat while installling new field lines for the septic system and almost broke my leg, Doc says stay off it and keep ice on it so with some pleading with the wife I did the build in the well...... lets just say Jeff Foxworthy would be very proud of me

I cannot say enough good things about this fellows web site, I forget his name, I am not even sure if he is a member here but the info. and well built web page is a wealth of info. and was a great help also.

She sounded bad while trying to start up, thought I was hearing some valve to piston contact, I decided to give it one more try and it lit off.. Did a couple of warm up cycles and took it on a little test drive...WOW.. I can not wait to get the ignition tuner on it and get it to a dyno.....

Is it just me or is that your living room? Your wife must be very understanding!

Dan Baisely did my heads also. He is a great guy and does fantastic work! Your build is very similar to mine. Trust me you will enjoy the ride!

Congrats on the build, my wife was walking by when I was looking at your pics, and she wants to know what your wife thought about doing the build in the kitchen? I know I would be sleeping in the garage for many moons if I pulled that one off. Congrats on the build and on having a very very very understanding wife.

Thanks, Yep its in the living room... I guess the wife felt sorry for me with the bum leg and with some pleading allowed me to do it in the corner of the living room if I promised I would stay off the leg like the doc said and as long as I did not tear up the new floor I put down last year.

Not spilling *(well not much) gas is a real trick with that friken cross over fuel line

Can harldy wait to rack some miles on it and get it broke in..

That must have been some damn good pleading. I see she let you build it in the house!

Holy crap! My azz would be out on the street if she found my Ultra sprawled out on our new kitchen tile floor!

Montano · 07-15-2006, 08:34 PM

Thanks for the compliments on the wife, she is a cool "biker chick" for sure.

xkvator, you are right should have used the hand rails but I was in a hurry trying to spread the last bit of 22 cubic yards of gravel before the rain got me again and with that small bucket as you know takes a lot of trips.

I totally missed the step on the back of the buck while getting out so my leg went between the bucket and the cab, damn near broke my leg. I suppose the good news was the wife felt sorry for me and let me do the work in the house
