Don't go for chrome bolts... Use polished stainless...
 
Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Bahaha money talks! You going on spring ice breaker ride I hope!

I don't think I will make it up there for the ride. But I may be passing through the nearby area on Friday night so I may just stop and introduce myself. The ride looks like it will be fun. A very scenic route has been picked.

You have done an outstanding job. Congratulations! That Vmax is incredible.
 
Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Thanks guys!!! Not to bad for a small messy garage at my dads and while his ultra classic was ripped apart.. its not perfect but all I've gotten was compliments from friends.
 
Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Looks good. We have both the polished and chrome engine bolt kits. I'm out currently but need to get some back on hand which usually doesn't take long.

Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Looks Great, I'm a little Jealous of that 1260 Motor and Chain Drive.
 
Re: My 1985 PCW 1260 Restoration Complete!!

Great Job!! The engine really pops. How does it run with the new engine and driveline?
