After only putting a couple miles on the new build (in Ronaoke Va)....I discovered some oil leakage from the front pulley (Tue) . With our departure coming on the next day -Wed afternoon from Roanoke Va to Wilmington - I called Potter to coordinate with Stan from Flatline Customs in Wilmington to check it out Thursday morning...just hours prior to our departure on the run. The picture below is @ 10am Thurday ...after removing the front pulley..Stan discovered the cam spacer was MISSING!!! Needless to say.....Stan saved me from destruction....which would have occurred within 45 minutes of riding. Stan came through "bigtime" working for about an hour and a half on his hands and knees in the shop parking lot. After final assembly - me and Mike loaded the bike on the trailer and headed to Potters house to grab our packs...jump on the bikes and head to New Union Tatttoo - downtown Wilmingotn - to meet up with the guys.
