Rearset above exhaust mounted

Hey guys. It's been a while since my last post so I figured I would post a couple of pics of recent work.

My Dad passed recently, so it has been pretty difficult to get back into it, but I did manage a couple of hours to work on my exhaust side rearset, mount, master cylinder, brake line, and exhaust hook up. Took some playing around, but I think it is pretty close.

I might lower the foot brake lever a little more though.

Sorry to hear about your father, losing family is hard.. they say time heals all wounds but I think it never fully heals, time just lessens the hurt.
Are those Tarozzi's? They have the holes for clocking the levers like Tarozzi's have.

Thanks for your kind words guys. I appreciate it. Just taking day by day.

The rearsets are Dime City Cycle Originals.

I just got my shifter arm for the linkage on the other side. I will be finishing those up today hopefully. I will post more pics.

Haven't fired he up yet. I need to finish the ignition switch wiring and hook up fuel lines to petcock.

Thanks again guys. I've always felt this forum as family and it truly shows in situations like this.
