decided to ride the bike to the gym yesterday (only about a mile away) and on the way there it bogs down on me bc it wasn't getting fuel... tank was maybe a quarter filled (maybe a little less) and somehow it wasn't enough (BTW, the PO idiotically welded the factory petcock up and welded in a...

I also ordered some bar end mirrors I found pretty cheap on amazon. Didnt think I was going to like them much so I went cheap to test it out and I'm actually kind of liking the look. Might try out just a single mirror at some point

One thing I do wish to do is somehow raise the tank up a bit so that the bottom tank line matches up to the seat pan line... there was no way the seat pan could go that much lower. I had to trim the front section of it so that it would come down another inch or so and its about as much as i...

Seat pan is finally mounted up. Ended up using the "no welding" mounting gear from Legendary Cycles/DCC a little differently to get the seat pan over the frame rails and clear the oil tank. Love the way it looks but not crazy about the little foam pads I installed... They'll give me the comfort...

Paypal money sent for the brake caliper. Thanks again great seller to deal with!

LMAO! yea definitely not comfortable haha but I was honestly so stocked to finally get to ride it that it wasn't even bothering me ;D

So next order of business: Brake caliper ordered from fellow DTT member Brake hoses ordered from Ebay New clutch lever, brake lever and reservoir ordered from Ebay Hagon rear shocks ordered from Hagon Mounting the seat pan in the next few days Make the foam seat pad and wrap it in brown...

yes... thats a skateboard haha haven't gotten around to mounting up my Legendary "Thruxton" seat pan i got from DCC...

haha thanks man. Yea rough around the edges is definitely an appropriate way to put it. I plan on cleaning it up a bit and making it a little "nicer" than it is now but I dont want to make it real flashy and what not... in the end the bike is a garage build so it'll always look a little rough...

Although not very far, it felt great to go for a little ride yesterday. Bike is really fun to drive! Best way to describe the bike is a beast angry from being woken up but still drowsy from a long sleep haha. The thing is super loud, vibrates quite a bit, still needs to be tuned so its a little...

yea dude I'm so happy to be able to ride it finally! The Barber's event is gonna be awesome, cant wait!

can I bother you for a pic of the tank please? and possibly a price?

Finally got the bike out of the shop yesterday and so excited. Aside from the wiring fix and valve adjustment I had mentioned before, I also had them weld up my seat hoop so i was able to mock up the seat when I got it home and can't wait to mount it up! Today after work I will tackle the...

I'm glad I took the time to read through you build. Awesome job man. Great progress so far and can't wait to see whats next!

Hahaha sounds good. Yea I'm definitely gonna be there. Running or not I'll be there since I live about 20 minutes away from Barber's but trying everything I can so I can ride there. Look forward to meeting you

hahaha ::) yeaaaa. Specially now I wish I would've taken a picture of the wiring mess when I got this bike... the bike was at least starting but makes me wondering what they were thinking lol

25 is fine with me. Is it from a K or F model? i just wanna make sure it'll fit my K3... not sure if the disks are the same thickness between years and K/F so I gotta look that up

Since the bike is already at the shop, instead of picking it up yesterday I went ahead and dropped off my seat hoop and seat pan so I could have them weld everything up. While I was there, I was able to chat with the guys about what was wrong with the bike that wasn't allowing it to start and...
