Well after months of working
And seeing tons of projects get completed
I'm at the fork in the road with my build in 2 weeks when jugs come back from service
I'll be ready to put Engine back together
I have all the stock parts to get it running (old reg/Rec,coils wiring
Carbs are in process thx to pj

Frame is 90% need to do the dzus fasteners and slot for tail light
And the placement routing of electronics and such

So I've decided to get it running and tuned first
get it road worthy next new cables tires brakes ect.
Then start the cosmetics like final paint and the bolt on upgrades
I have all the fab work done it's all primed to protect from rust
I wanna ride it
I can make it look pretty after I know it's functional ya know
Do the ton
Then make it look good doing it

Not sure if I posted this interesting fact yet
All my metal used on frame for the venting panel and seat pan
We're made from various stainless coffee machine parts from the Dunkin' Donuts my wife works at
The cafe term literally used
Coffee machine parts lol

The copper colour looks great.
Thx man I’m using all rattle cans
For my build
I’ve gotten really good over the years using em
I have more coats to apply on everything eventually once it’s fully functional
Plus I wasn’t sure how well the enamel will work out of a spray can
Lesson learned paint last seriously

Still has 360 front on it waiting for neck bearings and bars from dcc
To put fork upgrade on
33mm to 35mm and I was able to keep front drum
I know I know why keep drum brakes ??
I like the look and the bike is not terribly heavy or big
And they still work at stopping the bike
I’ve been trying to stay true to the old cafe inspirations building from what I have
All the metal work vents ands rear fender I made is stainless from dunkindonuts cafe machines lol and stuff like that I built my seat cowl it’s not finished and when it’s done it wont be perfect but also like no other just like my bike
