I still pop onto this board occasionally. I haven't had a chance to ride much this winter, though it hasn't been terribly cold most of it. I try to stay to riding above 50* though. I just prefer being more comfortable while riding.

I've since painted the header wrap and installed my bar end mirrors. I also ditched the cheap pods and put the stock airbox back on with a K&N filter. I painted the caps to match the tank. Not full blown Cafe, but Cafe-Light....
How comfortable is that seat? I'm looking to make a solo seat for my bike and and I'm looking at padding options again. My current seat uses and old pickup rear bench seat padding. Where did you get that material?
Still needs a couple of finishing touches, like cutting/painting fender, painting side covers, wiring up license place lights, buffing/polishing the finish... but I took it for a shakedown ride yesterday. 5 miles on it without issue. It pulls much better with properly built carbs and the pod...
Modified the seat pan to give it some more room for the tire. Also eliminated that crossbar.
Also made some more progress on everything else...
Wrapped the headers... haven't decided if I'm going to spray them in the silicone spray yet or not...
Painted the tank and part of the headlight...
Been a while since I've posted. Made some progress on the project. Here are some pics...
Ordered a 2.5" mini speedo from DimeCityCycles. This thing is TEENY. I opted for the one without the LED indicators cause I had already wired up my own LEDs with a new harness.
New tails and turn signals...
