Nice work! I see you mention driveability ( not that I think it matters too much if the bike looks cool ;) ). My son has a similar bike that he wanted to go the cafe route with, but changed his course and did a cafe/tracker styel bike instead. What he (or I)did was to make a comfortable tracker...
I only used windows paint. As long as you have basic line tool, copy/past, text and erazor you're good. If you are used to working with layers you might be better off using Gimp or Photoshop. All the components I copy/pasted from other places or the original wiring diagram for my bike. A tips if...
I posted the wiring diagram in the electrical section at gsresources.com and got some pointers and ideas. This is the final rendition of the diagram. The wires are not to scale, either by length or thickness, but the diagram shows how things will be connected to eachother. The turn light switch...
Thanx :)
I've had a go at designing the wiring for the bike. I would be very grateful if someone would look it over and correct mistakes :) I'm not sure if I should connect the regulator to battery or switced plus, so it would be helpful with a hint about that too.

Sometimes the build finds its own path and I have to tag along to see where the build goes. I've been good at spending time on planning to minimise the need for doovers. But when I thought I found a similar exhaust on the internet as I had stowed away 3 years ago, I was dead wrong. Measurements...
I sodablasted the carburettors and dusted them of afterwards with compressed air. I thought I was careful not to get any soda inside them, but my father said I should open and clean them anyway.

Glad I did, because he was right. Also, although...
I was struggling to find a good placement for the speed sensor. I've seen some people mount them in the rear brake, or under the front fender, but I will try to modify the original speedo-gear unit. That way I won't have to machine a spacer to replace it. I will drill a hole inside the original...
Borrowed the cnc-router again. This time for the top triple. Did some prototyping in oak for speed.

Tried to make the tube at the end a little wider by hammering a stepped tube inside it. This clipped two of te rivets holding the muffler together. I drilled out the last one and took it apart.

This bend and silencer came today. Almost a good match ;) I'll have to use some force to get them to fit..

Looks like cool plans.
I used this site when searching for sprockets for my 520 conversion. It has measures for all the sprockets and lists all other models that use same sprockets. It was very helpful.
