While waiting on parts for other projects I thought it would be a good time to complete the mini chopper I started 45+ years ago. It was completed but disassembled several years ago for paint and chrome but got put away unfinished. I found the misplaced box of chromed parts last week and decided now...

Progress has been slow lately but the Bonnie is a roller now. I'm still trouble shooting a wiring problem
(6 volt/positive ground). This was the last year for the 6v alternator/magneto setup. I'm waiting for a new rectifier and battery, then more testing.

Bill Stevens, president of WVM (Washington Vintage Motorcycles) had cordially offered to deliver the Bonnie tank and fenders this Sunday. What a guy. I...

Thanks guys for your offers. And thanks to all who have viewed (5400 views) the build. I'll be back in the shop a few hours today and pick up where I left off. Lots to do before I kick the bucket, or toaster?
