Alright, I got this thing running again after a few wiring/electric jobs that needed to get done. So close to being done ... I just had to take it for a quick spin down the street.

Went with the wrinkle paint on the battery box. The. Decided to do some more mocking up. Got the tail light and fender mounted.

Almost there. Gotta make a muffler hanging bracket and test the charging system and make sure all the charging upgrades work good.

Thanks bro, it's been a very long project though. And this is only phase one. It's supposed to be a café racer you know?

Wow! Nice job!

Thank you, thank you. did I mention I messed up my eye while making that battery box and had to get a metal splinter pulled out? Yes I was wearing safety glasses. Not enough protection though. Moving forward its goggles and face shield while grinding.
