Spoke with Rick from Cogent Dynamics today. My forks will be on there way tomorrow with fresh Fat Boy springs. The carbs have new internals thanks to RichD and Factory Pro. Steering head bearing have been reworked. And a minor clutch issue will be resolved by tomorrow. The HST Special will be ready for a good flogging Sat. Can't wait see y'all there.

Sorry, while building the airplane I took pictures of everything. I'm just getting lazy. I will try to post some pics tomorrow afternoon.

Damn it Tommy that fonts either way to small or I've had to many Shiner Blacks! Tell the Bonwilder not to laugh to much as she passes me on the outside.
