Thanks guys, I have been slowly building momentum. Looking at those Comstar wheels has me trying to figure out which direction do I want to go. They are in great shape stock, but I like the all black look. I could spray them, powder them or just leave them. I think if I am going through...

Did you see my Vanagon out front? I made road pizza out of a deer with the front bumper of my wife's car and that meant the Vanagon came out of its slumber and was put into full time service while the car is being fixed. Yep, I ran out of funds and time last year (as happens with these...

OK, a new year, some new challenges but a few carryover students. I am working on this project with them from time to time. I am getting ready to make a few purchases and getting ready to start some more simple fab stuff... I have a few opinions etc to ask: 1. I have seen Ignition switch...

Sorry guys. It's been a rough couple of weeks which had my mind in other places. We have been making little bits of progress (things that don't cost money) but no big moves yet. I am waiting for reimbursement for T-shirts I printed for a couple of school clubs, and as soon as I get that money...

Yep, Makes perfecto senso!

I guess I could do that! Hadn't thought about it. I guess a key only keeps out an honest person! Did you need to run the switch through a relay or just run the witch? The ignition isn't really firing anything right? It is the push button that is taking the load for the starter!?!

just did a couple of tests and it is a bit cramped between the down tube and the carbs/head. So unless there is someplace that I am not thinking about, I think in the spot in the picture or In front/under the tank. I am not real fond of that because of road dirt and water etc. Any other...

Kevin, It is possible I could move it in front of that down tube and tucked under the tank. I was just worried about crowding the pod filters I want to put on, other electrical parts I was relocating up under there and the angle of the electrical connections in the back of the ignition. But I...

Yinzer, Yep, I got what you are saying about the block and the fuses. I threw a leg over a couple of times with different ignition locations and this one seemed to be pretty good (or the best of the options). I am thinking that if I recess it slightly within the center of that tab, the key...

I guess I should start an actual build thread on another board.

Should I continue this thread here or put a "Build Thread" together on one of the other boards? I have a couple of questions about relocation and elimination. So I am trying to "clean up the cockpit" of this thing. I am thinking of relocating the ignition switch under the seat etc. along...

I know... I am keeping options open. I may have to sell my Guzzi. This bike may be pretty fun to ride so who knows. We will see what the finances allow. I took a pretty big hit last year with my VW project.

Lots of turns. What else would you do with it? ;D Thanks by the way. The student in the first pic with the sawzall is actually building a bobber with his dad.

I have a clean set of stock headers on my CB650 but the stock pipes have some rot. Since the pipe doesn't completely disconnect from the header. Do you suggest I cut just past the merge point of the two pipes in order to put slip-ons on? You can see how one header clamps on, but the other...

The guys assessing the bike. getting down to ripping pieces off. right after we got the carbs cleaned and got the bike running. cuttin some unneeded metal! Hey, gimme that thing! I want to cut!
