I believe a few of those are cleaned up originals. I cant remember where i got new ones but usually shop at: 
1) Z1Parts
2) Z1Enterprises
3) Johnny’s Vintage Motorcyvles

I have been holding out replying hoping that I could somehow swing the time off, but it's a no go for me.  We are preparing to launch our first SAP 4/Hana system at the end of the month.  All hands on deck and nobody gets to take vacation time.  It's a 10 hour ride for me so there is no way I can do it in a weekend.  Have fun, weather looks to be real nice for it!

Had a blast today working in Dave’s (Dirk’s) batcave garage where temps were cool. Today’s attendees were Brad “shankkole”, Mike “Bogi1”, Dave “Daveo”, Matt, “Mikaw”, Dirk and myself, “wheelhop”. Oh and a newcomer, Dave,  stopped by for a visit.

Had a few setbacks with the motor assembly. One was finding a broken off bolt in the recently vapor honed case that was a pain in the A— to remove. We’ll be back at it in the morning and post more pics!

Did you guys use a left handed drill bit to get the broken bolt out?
Those vapour honed cases sure look nice.
