My new Shelby Project.

Been busy on the shelby today. Got the fork taken off and getting it straightened. Lubed up everything and should have the tank all washed down and installed today.

Tank is washed off and installed. Matches pretty good considering it's not the original one that came with the bike.

These Shelby Truss rods may be earlier than your bike, but maybe not. The other Shelby-specific truss rods have a slight bend where the fork crown plate is, but this other Shelby design on ebay has no fork crown holder/plate so may be earlier. Not sure your truss holder on the fork crown is original?

Forks all straight and back on. Now I just need to find the missing parts.

Found a rack that will be a good place holder until I find one with better factory red paint on it.
