1977 360 Auto ressurection

Good job! Glad you got you act together!

Some small progress today....

Looks awesome!

Finally my piston arrived, rebore done and cylinder installed.
It's great to be able to make some progress!
Also the original reason this bike was parked was due to no spark, I removed the plug lead and cut a short piece of the plug lead, I can now confirm a good solid spark!
No paint on the tank yet, that's next on the list after I test fire this engine.
Still waiting for my main parts order......

Still no movement of my parcel from RTR Moto, now around seven weeks!

When i bought from them It took a while too. Good stuff though.

I'm beginning to think it has gone awol.

Call and see if they have a tracking number.

I have a tracking number, it has been sitting at San Francisco since the 15th of April with no change.

It took about 6 weeks to get a part from california because of the covid i guess. It finally came and the sender and i got pretty familiar in the weeks. Don't give up.

I have a part sitting in Indy for two weeks so far!

58 days with no movement so far.

A bit of a surprise today, my parts arrived. I checked yesterday and they were still showing as being in San Francisco as they have been for an eternity, so the tracking is about as accurate as a blind driving instructor! As you guys said though, the parts appear to be amazing quality!

Glad to hear you got your parts. Sounds like the US Postal Service has crashed. I sold a side float Bing on Ebay to a guy in France this April and like your tracking number my carb's tracking stopped updating after four days. A few weeks ago Ebay made me refund the Frenchmans money, to the tune of $360 after shipping and fees. I filed a missing package report on USPS website but haven't heard anything back. Wonder if the guy in France will eventually get the carb or if I'll ever get a positive resolution out of it? At this point I no longer have any enthusiasm for the USPS.

At the rise of the virus I bought a set of masks on ebay and they were not received after 2 months, ebay drove me to made the claim and i got my money back, then 3 weeks later the masks arrived out of nowhere. I should probably pay for them!

USPS is angling for a bailout, the commercials are on the radio constantly, like every other Pseudo-Government Agency, Amtrak, etc

It has all gone to hell, I have a couple of other parcels but at least I know what to expect.
I fitted the fenders today, they fit well. The seat cover will need a little massaging with heat to get it right but it will fit nicely.
I'll get some pics tomorrow, too cold outside at the moment.
Now I need to make a start on the tank.....
Tony.

I have never been paid on a USPS missing or damaged claim. AND you cant put in a claim until 30 days after the ship date.

Tony, has RTR Moto still got a web site ? I tried looking the other night and it came up blank.
