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.

Thanks for doing that

Andy loved those bikes, he had a good winter transforming Pearl into Raven. 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.

Not sure but a friend from Northern Ontario was looking into buying the bike, don't know what became of that but he hasn't mentioned anything about it lately. Could be he didn't get it.

My understanding is that the personal property cannot be sold until the courts sign off on the will and probate , etc.   Once the estate gets the green light, then the bikes and other stuff can be sold.

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.

Ratman - nice punk job.....mundane question - what size (diameter) are the round reflectors you chose front and back? Do you have source?

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:
