Don't want to distract you rom the 350, especially with summer closing in, but here's a couple of interesting ones..

Done about 180,000kms,so it's been well loved. Sounds pretty rattly so I might pull it down and get some new rings for it. Still super keen on the 350,placed an order with boretech today for the carbs and coils, dropping the head off on Saturday to get a bit of Port work done, so I should have the bits in another couple of weeks to start full reassembly. Still waiting on the dime city package to clear customs though, they're dragging their feel big time! I'll hopefully get the seat and battery box finished in the next 2 weeks then I can at least get the frame painted!

I'll tell you what, they make a pretty phat looking Cafe...

Also had a go at building my own battery boxes too

Looks like I'm going to need to run 2 battery boxes just to fit all the crap!

Also decided I didnt really like the turn signals I bought from dime city, so looking at these ones now. They are pricey but I think they are what I'm after. I like the idea of the turn signals and brake light in one, but I'm not sure if it'll work on the new flasher relay I bought. Does anyone have any idea how I could make these work? http://www.customdynamics.com/billet_led_light.htm

Yeah thanks! I think the paint has come up really well, and it kind of offsets the gloss black on the frame. Getting there now!

Started on the wiring, great fun that is! But got the electronic ignition in and I have spark which is great! Now just to move onto the regulator rectifier and try and figure that one out...

One of the white wires will go to the pink wire coming from the alternator. The white and yellow wires from the alternator should be spliced together before being connected to the other white wire on the R/R. The green wire in the plastic plug looks like it should be spliced into the green/red wire on the harness side and ensure it matches up on the new plug to the green/red wire from the alternator plug. The red wire with the fuse then goes to the positive terminal of the battery or the stud on the solenoid that has 12V. Black is ground.
 
Hmmm there is 3 white wires coming out of my regulator rectifier, which is making me think I dont have to splice anything together because there is 3 wires and an earth coming out of the stator...
 
Starting to look more like a bike now

I'm really liking the color of the tank now, I think it suits just the way it is. I tried to clean the rust of out of with that por15 stuff but it didn't work very well, so I'm going to have to come up with something else now...
 
It runs! Got it to fire yesterday, surprisingly with all the modifications it only took 4 kicks and away it went! Pretty stoked on that. I tried to upload a video but I'm not sure how to off my phone with tapatalk...
 
Got some pipes! Well by pipes I mean pipe. Only got 1 side fitted up tonight, the other side is going to take a little more work to fit between the frame and footpeg...

Nice! not to nit pick but down the road I would consider replacing the front tire with 1 size smaller in front.
It would be a handling upgrade, also I think it would look better with a 1 size smaller front. Right now both are the same but due to the wider rear rim the front is actually a little bigger looking!
