I am completely new to this, but learning an assload as I go along (often the hard-way) I also just pm'd you back and thought it might be a good idea to post here some progress, list style:
Front
- I have (ready to install myself) the bucket. I am awaiting the ring from dime city. I got the bucket from rock city (fiberglass) it was a bitch to find a ring exactly 7" diameter.
- have all new gauges (from dime city) mini ones, cafe style. Will be a nightmare wiring up the speedo, because it has contained LED indicators. I can test and play though.
- new speedo cable (which I will eventually install)
- brake being refurb'd - got the kit, gotta finish polishing the caliper
- got new grips (they are nice too)
- need a new master cylinder (all metal, can't seem to find one on ebay for my bike)
- new handles, @ larry being polised
- bar end mirrors - need to install
- new headlight mounts
- new front turn signals (mini ones)
Middle
- had carb rebuilt and polished by larry
- replaced sparks
- striped all frame paint, repainting with lacquer (air brush) gloss black
- had tank striped, soldered (pin hole) painted, customized (see thread "new tank" in customization section)
- need to have tank cap painted (gloss black)
- valve and clutch covers @ larry to be polished
- looking for new seat, solo rider, simple - cafe style - no idea where to begin w/ that, might cut myself and have upholstered
Rear
- cut few inches off frame
- new rear turn signals
- 4" small LED tail/brake light (which I have to rig something together which will hold that & plate
Thanks to Larry's suggestion on the 3m carbon fiber vinyl (which is kick ASS stuff by the way) I got a piece 12"x48" (more than enough, will put some on the side panels and other spots as well, I revamped the tank...
with 3/8" 3M chrome stripe/trim
