Thanks guys. It feels great cruising again. I need to adjust the height a little because of the lean towards the passenger side. Rides really smooth and the wifey enjoys it as well which is a plus.

Hey guys it's been a while since I gave an update on the 59. Since mounting the new wheels I've pulled the 36hp motor and installed a 2332cc power plant. I've been having some issues with the carbs for a while and seem to have solved it for now. I'm currently having issues with the linkage. Im trying to take it easy on the tranny until I can afford a nice strong one that I can beat up on. Here are a couple of pics.

Hey John, The 59 looks super - and the 2332 sounds sweet. Hopefully you've sorted your carb/throttle issues. Sounds like bigger congrats is in order?!

I took a few pics on the way to the Monument show and thought I'd share.
