This is awesome! Well done.

Thank you for the compliments. As I said at the beginning of this thread, my plan is to do it right this time around. Even if it takes awhile and cost more. I am very happy with how the wiring turned out. Now, the only electrical component on the bike that hasn't been replaced or refurbished...

Once I had all of the major components installed, I started running the wires. At first I just ran them with some extra length and held them in place temporarily with twist ties and loose zip ties. Once I had all of the wire runs laid out I tightened up the zip ties, marked where I wanted...

After that, I installed my new electronic speedometer and tachometer from Daytona (https://daytona-europe.com/en/13-velona-speedometerstachometers). These things are really nice. So far I have been very impressed. I had to make a new gauge bracket out of aluminum sheet which bolts to the...

Over the years I have made many modifictions to the electrical system. New headlight, blinkers, regulator/rectifier, coils, coil power relay mod, etc. But every time I changed something, I just hacked up the old wiring harness. Even when I rebuilt the bike after the wreck in 2012, and...

This thing looks amazing. Well done.

This thing looks like it rips. Very nice.

Beware, it isn't cheap. But like you, I didn't really know where else to go. The local bike mechanic that I usually go to doesn't build wheels anymore and just sends his to Buchanan's as well. All-in-all I'm happy to spend the money for the quality parts and work and convenience.

I'm onboard.

Yes. Both from Buchanan's ( https://www.buchananspokes.com/ ). I sent the wheel hubs, new tires, new tubes and new rim strips to them and they built the wheels for me and sent them back. I picked out the rims and spokes that I wanted from what they offered and included a list of everything I...

Crusty to clean. Love it.

Got the bike all back together and looking fresh. While I was refreshing the wheels and shocks, I also put in new brake pads, front and rear sprockets and a new chain.

Ha! You are correct. Having those two wheels built cost more than double what I originally paid for the bike (which actually wasn't that much).

Just got the wheels back from Buchanan's and WOW! they killed it. I can't wait to get these back on the bike.

This think looks amazing. I can't wait to see it all painted and back together.
