Dr. Shop Teacher's - "Lil" Indian Model 600 - (Vintage Class)
Oh that's right , help Buckeye:laugh:
She's a Roller....
I spent time this morning assembling the bike to roller status. There is still a lot of work to do. Once it was on wheels, I devoted some time to assembling the 64 Briggs that will power it. I made a good calculation and the engine will travel nearly the entire length of the slot and not be in danger of fender chatter. I used Cherry NOS grips rather than seeking OGK grips and the peg rubbers are NOS Hunt-Wilde. Fenders are secured with stainless bolts and Acorn nuts with threadlock. I ended up using the cable stop I made because the ones Markus recommended were too small in diameter (I had pre-drilled). What remained of the original hardware was not worth salvaging save the coil spring. OldMiniBikes provided the new axles and I picked up all-metal lock nuts at the True Value to maintain the vintage look.

Just gorgeous! You say it's coming out better than you expected, Pete. I say I fully expected it. I think you give yourself far less credit than you deserve. I've been watching your builds and they'll stand up to anyone's. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see it in person. I hope you will be bringing it to Windber.

Buttoned up the motor....
Finalized the assembly of the 64 3hp engine today. You can see the complete build here (intended for first-time builders):

Not much left to do with the engine other than test fire it and work out any bugs before installation on the bike.
