So around bike week I plan on making a detour to not far from ebor to youre garage and bringing a case of ultra and hanging out for a few. That’s u less you kicked the wife and I out for being weirdos but I would still leave the beer, I toldgee

    I may have spotted your issue. When you finally get it running you can see sparks under the chrome ignition box arcing to the motor. It happens several times once you get it running.

    Choppers and bobbers looks so fine, problem is that someone set those up just the way they want and old engines will indeed get you broke, you want to really enjoy riding? get yourself a stock recent motorcycle and let it be, let it alone as it is except by exhaust, air filter and a tuner or an aftermarket carb kit or in fact a whole new aftermarket carb (all these optional) otherwise just do regular maintenance.
    On the other hand if you want a chopper or a bobber it's better to build one yourself, then again get ready to bite the bullet if you go with an old engine, 'cause it will be expensive no matter what, and you're gonna end up taking care of that engine more than you ride it. Just the way it is.

    In March, my wife is leaving me to go to Las Vegas to see a show with her sisters. I'm going to be freeeeeeee from work for a four day weekend. Friday I'm dropping oof my wife at Pensacola Airport, and on Saturday I'm going to take an hour ride on my motorsickle to Biloxi to a Vietnamese restaurant restaurant where I'm going to order my fave dish, the only restaurant that makes it, and eat there. I won't be able to finish it, but I will be able to take home in my top box on my motorsickle. I got the same one that Josh has the square one with a lock. I really like the box because I'm able to carry a lot of things like my old scoot scoot. Than on Sunday I'm going to ride my motorsickle to church like I always do, but I'm going to be alone since my sister inlaw is not there with me, she's in LasVegas with my wife hence her sister. I'm going to enjoy so much riding on my motorsickle I just can't wait!

    I had a buddy who had the same problem with his CB 750 chopper. The AMEN electric box had to be remounted and its contents rewired. It was a magneto-sparked ignition too. The bike was originally built by Tony Carlini out of Detroit. I remember that guy very well. The bike in question had gone through 2 previous owners before my buddy bought it. Once the electrics were sorted out, he rode it to CA and back to Ohio, with no major gremlins. Ride safe, Shade. -- Walt in Cleveland.

    Lovely chop you got there. Thought I remember you've got a basic welder, right? Why not get yourself some thick angle iron and fabricate a bolt on lift extension just for choppers? You already know how wide and long it needs to be from where it parks. If the original bike lift front wheel cradle is bolted on, you can just use those same bolt holes for the extension and swap it out. I'm not blessed with Lift Privilege but that's what I'd do. Keep up the good work, swamp wizard. Much love from DC.
