The swap was a dud. The threat of rain, along with the heat and high humidity, kept the bulk of the vendors away. Mrs. C went along and noted that while the bulk of the parts for sale were HD, the bikes for sale were everything but. I just remained non-committal.
Weld-The Briggs is already fit with a float style carb. No worries there. I do plan on shortening the bars as they are part and parcel of the forks. The headtube angle itself is a tad laid back for my taste. We will see how things pan out.
