Now it hits me....
I put a new sealed beam headlight on my springer. And every bulb I installed smoked then went out, 3 if them to be exact. I asked everyone who knew anything about motorcycles I could what was going on with several different answers. Damn near fed up I asked an engineer at work and got a whole different approach. Then thot, well shit that makes sense. I bought Nos sealed beams, meaning they were old and had been sitting for who knows how long. Well they somehow lost there seal, inert gas, which allowed oxygen inside the light which allowed the filament to smoke and fry. Damn, those bulbs were $30 each!

Remember Nick Berg!
On the news lately there has been controversy over 4 u.s. marines pissing on the dead bodies of rag heads. Some people (on our side) were offended. Well fuck you! That's the least they deserve. Do you remember our female military women getting raped? Do you remember 9/11? And do you remember Nick Berg? Nick was captured, bound and be-headed on t.v. America has gotten weak cause someone will get "offended". Well god bless our troops and fuck you if you get "offended".

Progress report
Poor picture quality but when I make progress after work its late at night. Getting closer anyway. Seat, wiring and internal bars are all I have left to be running again. I can fine tune afterwards.

Tech tip
Fork stops. While collecting everything to put a OEM springer on one of my pans, I was wondering what I was gonna do about fork stops. There is a hole one both sides of the neck casting close to where the backbone and down tubes meet. Nothing goes to it on my bike, or any that I've seen. Not sure what its for cause there where no wear marks or threads or anything. That said, I tapped them and used a bolt for the stops. The bolt head lined up perfectly with the stops on the springer. I used a 3/8"x16npt tap. Cosmetically its not the prettiest but no cutting/welding is involved. Plus you can adjust them to a different tank if you decide to swap. In case your not in tune with what I've been putting together, I put a late model FX springer on a '51 wishbone pan frame. And I Freakin love it.
