would you have a picture of the shaft, was it a painted black one or the gold finish, did you install a hydraulic brake

black shaft with the splined brake.

i will be using a hydraulic brake because it will be an oval sled but with a little more playing around the stock brake would work.

Wow That is awesome. I was thinking of some thing like that for my 79 Intruder. Did the original chain gear fit in the jack shaft? Also what is up with the tie rod? It looks a lot different than stock. Thanks Marc

 i changed the angle of the steering arms on the spindles to change the akerman. i also wanted to go to a larger 7/16 heim joint so i had to make my own tie rods.

My compliments on your workmanship. Things look very nice so far. The Polaris clutching is a good choice simply due to parts availability and ease of tuning. My Interceptor wears Polaris clutches (jackshaft?). When I eventually get to that stage I'll see what part #'s things are ? Thus far I have an engine which when secured to the workbench ran for a couple seconds on spray.
