A little more 3D printing for those of you who are interested... The stock blinkers are big and although retro cool they take a kicking on the trail so I wanted something retro looking but LED to save wattage and smaller. So I picked up some penny marker LEDs and hit the 3D modeling software...

Been awhile since the last update but Ive been busu riding! Picked up an XT tripple tree from ebay with rubber mounted risers to replace the cast in clamps on the TT tripple. This nessitated scraping the current flyscreen and dash mount. Made a new bracket and fabbed up a quick fly screen from...

Re: Advice on first build and motorcycle I would agree mostly... The gl500 I'll assume is a SilverWing.. Very close to a CX500 can make an interesting Scrambler check out CafeRacer Garage on Youtube for an example but true not a project for a first build maybe...but who are we to say...

The issue I soon discovered was there are no speed sensor kits for drum brakes and very little info online for setting one up so I decided to...
