Hey Davis, you got a PM man.

Lovin the way you're taking the bike, those handlebars are sweet!

You've got some skill for sure, keep that in mind if the whole law school thing doesn't work out...

Thats the set-up I'm running on my 500. You'd be surprised that it's actually not that loud. Except at full throttle.

good to know, at the very least I'm in for a re-tune with possibly bigger jets, as the carbs have been off the bike for a few months now

Wow... This bike is badass. I cant believe Ive missed this build.

Thanks man, its going to be a lot nicer once its done, but I plan on keeping the ''very little chrome, lots of bare metal'' look overall.
I'm inspired by the irreverent, well worn character of bikes like this:

I appreciate it, the bike was in its previous quasi-cafe setup for a long time before i decided one day that i wanted to go extreme with it and bought a welder

[Reinhard]

Yeah, you'll most likely have to re-jet and mess with your air-fuel mix.

[Dirty Dan]

I've never thought shiny motorcycles were anywhere near as cool as a good old worn in lookin' bike... you're goin in the right direction, that's for sure!

Oh yeah, you've got another PM.

updated with crappy cell phone pics (better pics forthcoming):
 

Found a set of NOS short spokes from the 70s on ebay for $25 shipped!    saved myself a ton of trouble and even more money by not having to send my shit off to Buchanan to have custom spokes cut.

Nice man!

Good call utilizing the factory fender out back, looks realllll good.

here you can see my 'oil bag' electronics box. Got the ignition key right there and the black and red posts are where i wired it so I can hook the battery up to my trickle charger without having to open up the box.

 

 

 

 

 
Yea, its in my bedroom. It's cold outside and my room is pretty big considering its not like I have any furniture to speak of. Besides when a girl walks through the door, boom its right there; I dare her to try to keep her panties on.

Looks really good man...I liked It when you had it as a cafe racer too. I plan on making something like this with my new project I just picked up.

[bbillington]

so long as the girl doesn't see that crusty ass bed in the corner, you're good to go.

nice build... always cool to see the evolution of a project. well done
