Great job on the bike so far. Impressive build. Love that you went through the lower end. That would have resulted in disaster had you not.
Duece, not sure where he got the wires, but I've done business with this place and they are top notch.

The cloth wire is from Lowbrow Customs. I just grabbed a few feet from another guy in my garage. I'm only using it for the battery and the leads to the key switch. It's nice wire but it gets dirty really quick and it's more of a pain to strip than regular wire.

jwhelan65...It's got a "cafe" style seat but other than that it's fairly stock. Stock foot controls, bars, wheels, front end, suspension, etc.

I have a few small updates. The build has been on a little bit of a hold since I was finishing another project.
I got some free turn signals but there was no easy way to mount them where I wanted so we made some t-nuts.
Quick shot of the seat somewhat in place. Upholstery done by my friend Corinna. The seat itself is a hacked up and shortened Benji seat I got for free. Much body work is needed.
Temporary rats nest. Tentatively wiring a bunch of stuff together to make sure it works before I do the actual wiring.
And we made a bracket for the headlamp that mounts to the bottom of the triple tree. I anticipated it needing some more bottom support but it's extremely sturdy.
More soon.

I've been working on a few other project but I did start her up about a month ago. It was the first start since the rebuild.

I edited out the ten kicks prior to it starting. No need for you guys to see that. Haha.
Since then I've also ran new brake lines and adjusted the brakes. Pretty much the last to-do item is the seat. I've decided to make a new one. I was modifying a Benji cafe seat I got for free but no amount of modifying is ever going to make it perfect. I'm going to buy some sheet aluminum in the next few weeks and begin shaping my own. It won't be all that different in shape than the Benji seat but it will fit a lot better. I also have a few ideas that should make it a bit unique. We'll see how it comes out.

So close. I decided to build a new seat for it but I got sidetracked by shoulder surgery. The hacked up and modified Benji seat I had was too ****ty.
Seat and front fender....sooooooon. Then done.
