I like it.
You had me worried with the swingarm still on it there for a minute.
How much clearance do you have on the brake lever? Looks like right hand turns while braking could be a little tricky....

Yea you're right the brake lever is pretty low at the moment, i went with a 110/90-16 rear tire and when i built the frame it had a 120/90-16 on it so that lowered the bike a bit and the forks are dropped right now. Im thinking of going to a taller rear tire

Thank you!!! I loved my cafe cb360 but im a chopper/bobber person at heart just love ripping around on a obnoxious chopper....

Started the wiring last night, hopefully have it all done this Saturday...




Im going to be running the stock speedometer and tachometer although i got rid if the bulky stock pilot lights and added the cb360 hi beam/turn/neutral lights fits pretty well and matches the rest of the cluster

Also thinking about going to rigid seat, this seat pan is a little too close to the tank riding might be awkward

Received my bars this saturday
