I imagine he was in a lot of pain and some days couldn't hardly get down and work but he replaced every nut and bolt, fabricating most, was meticulous on his maintenance and work. Everything had to be clean like new. If something was the least off he replaced it. We all miss him but his knowledge lives on in this forum.

Could be he didn't get it.
Tfrank: I put a link in the 800 section as well to the sad news post I first put in the general section. Has all the obituary info in it.

How come we haven't heard from Ratman lately? Is everything okay? I'm in the dark down here in the Western US.

Amen, I agree to that. I have liked to watch his progress of the build over the winter, and loved seeing the pictures. I have really looked forward to seeing the bike in person, and hope someday that will come true.

I went ahead and replaced the rectangular reflectors on my bike as well, because I think round looks better, and here's the source that I used (they are 2 inch diameter and fit where the OEM reflectors were without modification) :
And this is the seller I used for the 2 inch RED reflectors, but I don't see that he has those now:Posted by RockinRollin
