I had a clutch question. I removed the cover where the clutch cable goes in and was wondering if the clutch rod can come out or will that screw things up? how can I test that the clutch can be engaged without the cable? I ran a stock cable but with clipons now the cable is way longer so having it shortened. I was not able to engage the clutch at all but want to make sure its working. Any thoughts?

Front Brake switch to brake Lever created

So I worked on modifying a lever that I ordered from Dime City so that it could have a brake switch. I was going to go with one of the cables that has the integrated switch and was going to heat shrink it so it would match all my black cables but then decided to work on switch integration with the lever. I found a switch online and drilled a hole in the brake lever housing and then screwed in the switch. I then drilled a small hole in the lever so that i could add a piece of aluminum rod that would stick out enough for it to activate the switch. So far it seems to work great, soon will have the bike all together and will test it out on the road.

One of the coolest builds I have seen. Like the bike a lot. I was wondering what tires you have on the bike and the size. I need to get tires for me CB350 and not sure which ones to get. I also love the way you did up the rear of the frame to fit up with the seat. I think I'm going to steal that idea and do it with mine. Keep it coming.

I agree, the white I selected is actual an off white but I would of liked to have had it be more of the color of the wrap. Oh well next time.
Thanks for the comment.
