Alright, I finally got back a bike I had been working on for a friend last summer, he lost interest and ran out of extra money to throw at it so I was able to get him to sell it to me for $100!
Like most people probably do I had initially figured it would be a good bike to make a nice low budget cafe racer out of it, but after a couple nights of research I decided that there are already enough of those
going around, and I live in Seattle so this bike will need to be comfortable and maneuverable around the tight bumpy streets of the city. Also, being in my early 30's my back will probably be thankful for a more upright riding
position. Here's a link to my imgur page that I'll be updating with all the pictures as I go along. So far I've put about 4 days into it and have it stripped down to every last bolt. Wiring will be handled with an M-Unit system unless anybody is aware of a more convenient solution. This build should progress quickly as our summers are known to last about 3 months sometimes if we're lucky so I've really got that fire lit to get it done!
