    Are you going to cut and weld the steering head for a steeper rake?

              A little more work to wire in the indicators and tail light.

                Just wondering what handlebars and hand controls you're using? The bike is coming together! Very impressed!

                    Thanks mate, the buttons are MOTONE 22MM SWITCH 3 BUTTONS and the handlebars are just a set of clip ons.

                      I know Ed, I had to edit the originals to be able to post them so cropping them was the only option. Any idea what I was doing wrong?

                        Eh, the forum doesn't allow/can't host bigger images. For that, you'll need to use an external image hoster. Personally, I use imgur.
