Thanks! Don't tell me that lol! I'm having a nightmare trying to get pods that fit!!!! The ones in the picture were too long and hit the frame, i tried grinding them down and they still wanted to pull the carbs off the motor! So i ordered APE, those were too long as well. Then i saw someone...

Almost finished!

So, sincemy last post I've done A LOT. Motor is rebuilt and painted, and put back in the frame finished the tank, chopped and painted the fenders( the rear still needs a bit more work. New head light, tail light, both with indicators. Chopped the exhaust( still need to weld that up) welded a new...

Alright, moving right along! I've made some really great progress in the past couple nights and mornings, basically whenever i can squeeze some time in... Also lots of parts are starting to arrive! So I've started getting into the motor, and cleaning off all the old gaskets, man that's been...

Alright, kids are gone, the lady isn't home... Time to get back into this bike. So I've picked up some wire, I've been reading so much about the wiring and rewiring on these bikes i think I'll just take a stab at rewiring... But that's for later, tonight I'll be getting into the motor and...

Almost there!!! Unfortunately, it's date night tonight... So since i bought this project i need to be good to the lady and take her out... Tomorrow i plan on finishing this strip job then get to filling the dents, scratches and emblem holes.

So, i coated the tank with the aircraft remover, 2 times now, the first time i didn't let it sit long enough i gutted i just got excited once i saw the paintjust bubbling off. I scraped the tank with a plastic card, wiped out down with mineral spirits, and started again. This time while it was...

I'm ready to get back to the engine, and ready to get to that tank! Just a heads up Aircraft paint remover has been pulled from the shelves everywhere due to a certain chemical they see no longer allowed to use. I lucked out and was able to purchase this can today, the manager almost wouldn't...

My thoughts exactly!!! Thanks, I'm actually just looking for a simpler. More retro speedometer, but with the dummy lights...

Hey Scott! Thanks again for the bike, and all your help! I was going to go with the anti gravity nattery but after updating the reg/rec and battery i would have in at around $260 since outs not kick star i wanted to go with the 8cell. That's something I'm interested in doing just not right now...

Well i have good news, i just made a sale on my personal website which gives me an extra couple hundred bucks... So i think I'm going to go with the antigravity battery, and upgrade the reg/rec after all!

Great, so i guess I'm just going to make that battery box a little deeper, or just fasten this battery under it somehow, for now. I just want to get this bike running, as stock as possible, then I'll worry about upgrading. I made afake battery that is just a little bigger than the one in...

Would this battery work? 12v, 10ah 160cc.... I might be able to squeeze that sucker in there and then i wouldn't have to change the reg/rec

Here is what I'm working with... The seat sits right at 2"....
