Ryan,

Thanks guys.

Sorry for the lack of updates but we have been work on both mine and Matt's Sears so haven't had much time. Right now I'm knocking out all the little stuff. Yesterday I worked for a while on rerouting a lot of the wiring to fit better the way everything is set up. Last night I got both tanks and the dash bolted down for good. A good friend of Matt and Carl's, Tim Yeates from Gibraltar flew in a few days ago and yesterday drove to Minnesota to pick up a bunch of Sears parts and my seat that Jordan Dickinson upholstered for me. It looks awesome, thanks Jordan!

It's obvious you really have a talent for bike building Ryan. I like the attention to detail and the no compromise attitude for quality. You have had great mentors with Matt and Carl but again, you posess a native talent for this stuff. I plan to have some fun with my '51 FL this year and your efforts have inspired me to put aside restoration and do the custom thing.
