Guess I owe the world a little update huh?

Lets see here, made an ugly seat.

Put the ugly seat on the bike, started re assembling the bike, going to skip painting the frame for now.

Played around with the stock tail light.

Also, I bought some satin red paint, going to be using the stock tank, planning to clean it out and reseal it some time soon.

Hope all turns out well mate! Definitely know the feeling when you feel in over your head. Good luck brother.

So, I had a busy Sunday.

Painted out side, then dried in the heated garage.

Fabbed up a little bracket for the speedometer and ignition switch (witch I need to find a way to temporarily bypass)

Not pretty, but it works.

Felt like I knew what I was doing, even though it only goes together one way.

Got a lot done, still have a ways to go. Bought a few things to get the electrical set up. While at work today I was about to buy a small battery to use on this, then some one brought one in to recycle, it still holds charge just fine. Saved me a little money. More updates soon.

Pretty bad huh? Good news is I'll be making a half decent seat some time in the near future.

So got the bike running the other night, got a few more things before I can actually ride it legally. Ran around the neighborhood a little bit today.

And the "electrical box" for the time being.

I should also note, that I'm rushing to get this rideable for the time being, untill I get a second bike or next winter when I can save up and redo everything the right way.

got a little side tracked...

I figured I should let everyone know I haven't given up. Getting real close. I'll make a real up date in a couple days, ordered jets and a new master cylinder. Still has a long way to go, should be on the road next month some time. Got my motorcycle license today.
