So I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the taillight didn't work. After a few hours of fiddling and studying the wiring diagram and arguing it turns out that the light itself didn't have a good ground.
I HATE it when its something little and obvious like that! Those things are usually...
Thanks!
When I got back from work today, It looked like a stray had let itself in. I dunno what the plan is with this guy but I guess you can't beat free, right?
Sorry I haven't been back for a while to post updates but we been on a serious roll with this project. Didn't really take the time to snap any pics the past week or so but this video should explain a lot.
Start-up and walk-around
Hope that worked. Still need to find out why the taillight...
Headlight bucket/gauge was an awkward shape so I painted it half ivory half black to break it up a bit. Trying to find a good height for it now as the stock (ugly) headlight ears were fixed in position and these new aluminum ones are adjustable. might go up a bit from the photo.

Wow that's definitely a project bike! As someone in a similar situation, I can honestly say that you will learn SO much with this bike. It's also important not to let it overwhelm you. Do one thing on it everyday after school/work even...
If anyone is EVER sealing their gas tank, I will only ever recommend POR-15!
This is as trouble-free as KREEM was troublesome. A few afternoons, a few handfuls of nuts/bolts and a can of acetone later, the '66s tank was finally ready for a good coat of the stuff. If anyone's ever worked with...
Went for a ride today and as i was going up a pretty steep hill, the '67 lost power and stalled out. Luckily I was able to pull off at a very scenic spot to snap a few pics and figure out what the hell went wrong. After about 20 mins of kicking and some help from a friendly harley guy, she was...
