Cl360 Noob Colorado Racer Build

I got a little more work done today. I cut off a few of the tabs on the frame in preparation for installing a seat.

Good job so far. That said... Install the forks in the factory position. You don't want them pushed through the trees that far. If you want to lower the bike, lower the forks internally amd get shorter rear shocks.

Thanks for the advice. I had seen other people had set their forks higher in their triple clamps and ran a clip on bar setup. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I think I will put them back in the factory location and run some clubman bars instead because I can't afford clip ons at the moment!

So recently I have only been able to do a few small things on the bike while I get some more funds. I trimmed up the seat I had using a rotozip and im pretty happy with the turn out. I also started to paint some more portions of the bike.

Here is a picture of how the seat came out. I also painted the wheels flat black to match the look of the bike. I took a blow torch to the exhaust tips to give them the burnt tip look. I cut them down a bit too to make them look a bit nicer. I can't wait to heat wrap them tho!

Here are just a few more pics with the black wheels. Its also got a makeshift wooden seatpan I made just to set my seat on in the meantime but if anyone has some suggestions on how to make a better one that would be helpful. Id like to do it all myself but keep in mind I don't own a welder. Thanks!

I had some incredible luck on craigslist today! I found a guy who was trying to get rid of this streetfighter/enduro style headlight for free so I went and got it from him. I'm not totally sure how I feel about it but I think with a set of clip on bars and the front fender on it will look pretty good. What do you guys think?
