[QUOTE="craig, post: 132028, member: 1959"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20201220_ProjectShadow51.jpg"]39193[/ATTACH] I was offered a Black Shadow project in 2013. I purchased the project and immediately started work on it. Took the cylinders and heads to local Vincent machinist only 3 hrs away. Crankshaft had been completed ,prior to my purchase, by a Canadian expert and also the tank was painted and done by "Bones". Then, another Vincent project came up, Then a buddy stopped by and said" Go buy a BMW and lets travel the USA". Then I got a wild hair and wanted to do the Trans America Trail (TAT). So I purchased a Husqvarna 701E and proceeded to farkle it out for the off road journey. So the Shadow was boxed up for another day. All that behind, I am now focused on this Shadow project. The pic above shows the big stuff with a thousand other pieces and projects in boxes. My goal is a street friendly Black Shadow to ride on a semi daily basis, couple times a week. [/QUOTE]
