Whew! I hope that came out okay.... Anyway, the last pic is how she is sitting now, need to get a rear tire so I can have a roller, then wiring and carbs. I am not going to have electric start, kick only...anyone have this as well. I would like some insight as to what I can delete in the wiring department. I know there are tons of resources online about it and I have checked them out. I would just like to hear from an actual person. I will try to keep everyone updated better then last time and not post every six months as usual. -Brian
 
Thanks JRK! I'm currently working on the seat pan which is going to get covered in leather the same color as the grips. When that goes to get covered, then I'm planning on tackling the wiring.

I like those grips. I've been looking for some brown ones myself. Where'd you get 'em?

I think the site was called flloydsvintage... I have seen them at a few different places though
 
no joke... best brown grips i have found are at walmart in the bicycle section... they are aweseom brown leather... for like 15 bucks! i have been waiting for a bike to use them on and never seem to build one
 
Believe it or not I was actually looking at grips from a local bicycle shop. Turns out they werent the color I wanted though.
 
Update!
Made a seat pan
Fabbed up a battery box to fit between the frame rails
Got the rear wheel situated
New chain
Started wiring so when my new Santee box comes in all I have to do it plug everything together

*UPDATE*
Got the seat back from being covered... also ordered a Santee box to hide all of the electrics.
I'm currently waiting for the carbs to be rebuilt but as soon as they are done she will be able to start.
