After purchasing this former Cafe project from another builder, made several modifications & test ran before dis-assembly. Did not keep some of the modifications on the bike like HD mufflers seen in the following photo. Going with bar end mirrors. Have different turn signals than seen in the photo, too.
Using Hotwings Glass front fender and (modified) GL1000 Darkwing seat pan. Installed progressive fork springs. Installed Igni Tec ignition and water pump mechanical seal. Will try 90/120 jets. Purchased a set of 1978 wheels with 18" rear. Using Bikemaster European handlebars. Rebuilt the front brake caliper after powder coating. Purchased all new cables. Installed Ducati electric radiator fan.
Used the space where the air box was located for the battery and voltage regulator mounted on a easy to remove tray. Installing K&N pod filters. Also made a set of flat plastic UHMW side panels to replace the original side panels. Have done other work not mentioned, too.
Trading Paint, Carthage NC, painted the tank, seat pan, front fender, radiator guard, and side panels. Americoat, Denver NC, coated many pieces including the frame & ceramic coated the Mac 2 into 1 exhaust system. I painted the engine & various parts with 500F primer/paint.
Currently assembling the bike. Last work completed mounted engine & installed All Balls tapered bearings in steering head. Next job will be installing swing arm with new bearings bearings.
