    So I'm gonna do a little post build update here. Been riding the bike for a bit now, tuning as I go. So I changed the header length of the pipe to get the powerband in a more desirable rpm range. Bike is getting closer to running really well. It pulls pretty good when it gets on the power band...

    Thanks for the great feedback! It was certainly a struggle turning an enduro into a "brat-cafe". as for the tire clearance fortunately I am only about 105 lbs so the bike doesnt even sag when I sit on it, So fortunately I dont think the tire will ever hit the seat but I understand the concern

    Thank you! The rear lights are currently just two individual running and brake lights, eventually id like to figure out how to get turn signals in there. Yea it seems like the Avons are the way to go, I definitely like the look of the firestones but as someone who also likes turning fast I can...

    An old Yamaha mechanic told me to be careful with sticky tires cause these frames flex a lot. Not sure if it's true or not

    Makes sense. I mostly just liked the aesthetic of them but I don't expect them to last long on my bike tbh. So when they are gone I'll get a real set of tires

    I made a metal (steel) seat pan and then had it upholstered. They wrapped the leather around the back and used some sort of contact cement to attach it

    Well that's basically it. I've got a couple little bits here and there to work on but this thing is basically done. I'll post a running video and more pics if anyone is interested.

    Been a while since I checked in here but I have gotten work done on the bike. I finished making new clutch, front brake, and throttle cables using the venhill cable kits that can be found on ebay. I also got most of the wiring harness finished, all I need to do is but some lights and wire them...
