Been Around the Block
Hey hows it going guys. Its been a while since I've posted some pics updating the status of my bike. I bought it around The beginning of the march and have made some good progress. I haven't done that much but the bike looks totally different. I have stripped down the whole tank of paint and left it bare metal then sanded it down and clear coated to preserve the metal finish and so it won't rust. Ive rebuilt the carbs and have replaced the oil pan due to an excess amount of oil leaking and also replaced the gaskets. I took off the stock seat and made a seat pan my self in my grandpas shop and made a bracket for the seat to rest on and welded it on and it locks in place with pins i bought from home depot with ball points at the end, painted it and put some bondo in to fill the gaps and painted it black to match the bike and also made a bracket for a light i bought at a led place and attached it to the frame and also made a bracket for my plate and hangs off the left side by my chain. I also took off the cone exhaust and just running straight pipes right now and it sounds like a monster but my next project is to build one my self or maybe throw on a cherry bomb with some heat wrap tape but I'm not sure yet. I still got a while ago and right now I'm trying to figure out how to make rear sets and figure out a seat that will go with the bike but make it stand out. Im deciding on a bright red, a barracuda green or maybe just a plain jane black help me out. If you got any suggestions of what else i should please let me know. On my to do list is (clip ons,rear sets,seat,front marker lights,headlight, gauges, side metal covers which ill make my self and maybe some toggle switches to get rid of all the controls to free up some room on the handle bars and some day try to figure out how to swap out my com stars for some spokes 8))
