Will do. Usually two of us and lots of used grips and pipe insulation!

Looking very nice! Perhaps its me, is the headlight bucket a bit faded? Cant remember if this is an original paint bike or freshly painted.

Sam..... I just touched up a few chips, polished and waxed. The other side of the headlight is almost faded grey, but I kind of like the look. I plan to ride this bike, so I may use all the bodywork “as found”.

Sam..... +2 to that! There is a guy in S.W. Ontario I have run into two or three times. He is riding a blue Sandcast, that he bought new in 1969. Very clean, unrestored.

Built up the rear wheel today. With the band and tube in place, marked the heaviest spot (7-8 spokes away from the valve hole). The “yellow dot” is opposed. Last time I took this extra step, so little weight was required, I skipped it.

Rear sprocket was in excellent shape, so I left it. Chain guard cleaned up well!

Looking more like a bike. When I’m done refinishing the rear foot pegs, the “roller” is pretty much done.

This is not the correct decal for my project. Does anyone make the correct, early style for my side cover?

Following along here John. She’s coming along nicely. Remember the early oil filter bolt had 14 mm hex head. Your later finned cover was probably fitted with a 12 mm. Made guys less likely to torque the bejesus out of em. I think KP sourced some side cover and other decals. He’ll chime in I’m sure.

Wayne..... thanks. I gather “early bikes” didn’t have the US pints indicated. Will be interesting to hear what defines and “early bike”? I will check my oil canister bolt.
