UPDATED APRIL 4 - CHECK BELOW


The third build on this bike, only bike I have ever owned and I just can't keep my dirty little wrenches off of it. Let me know if you think I'm on the right track. Still need to hang rearsets and front fender, cut seat supports, tie up wiring, wrap the pipes, odds and ends. Also need recommendations on color for the fenders, tank, and headlight cowl.











Still have a lot of finishing to do on the seat bracket but seeing it raw might help people get their own ideas.













 
mate this is looking awesome like a is a bobber and cafe had a baby it would be this bike, love it. brown seat and dark blue tank or polished and cleared with the faring black would look sweet.

are you going reat sets? and if so location?

Rear Sets for sure. The exhaust side is tricky, both sides will end up in line with the swing arm bolt cover you can see above the pipes.



The pipes sit in a 3" frame recess, so 3" spacers will let me clear the exhaust and put my feet equidistant from the center line of the bike. I have some 3/8" ID steel on the way. I was worried about temp off the exhaust so I got some of the titanium exhaust wrap used to wrap turbos, bonus - it looks cool.
 
Too bad you didn't show up at tge Bolt commercial in time to beat one of those yuppies to death :)

Where are you going to mount the plate?

I have a rear axle vertical mount bracket and a couple of led bolts. Just got the tail light and turn signal bracket fabbed up to go under the seat. I am jobless until I move to Portland in June, so expect regular updates. Thanks for the response guys, to be honest it has basically been at this stage since x-mas, I just hit a motivational block. I like how its coming out, just needed a kick in the ass. We had our first 65F day and that's all it took.

Thanks man, It took a while to get the bike here, here is one of the many setups that did not work.

 
Ok, been a while but I have the seat bracket and mounting hardware done. Now its rearset time.
