.....all i am waiting on is the correct head gasket, the one that they sent me was from a YZF not a FZR! soon as i get that the cooling system and exhaust goes on. and i can fire her up!.....

Head gasket or valve cover gasket? If it's head gasket, you've got some dis-assembly still to do :o

Looking very tidy, BTW ;)
 
well... hit a road block... the gasket is on back order and is not expected to be in till the end of next week :(
 
Is this a pressed type gasket or a rubber molded piece?
If it's flat stock, why not just make it?
 
it is a rubber molded piece that has some cuts that fit into sections around the valve cover... no way to hack it, trust me i looked! no worries i will have to find some ohter crap to keep me busy, may just go ahead and install my LED kit. I have a road king coming in tonight that has to be out of the shop by Tues (for my uncle) so not only do i have to bust ass to get it done, but i have to cut him a killer price cause he is family!
 
Ahh yes the ol'family discount.

For me it was free 6" turned stainless risers for my uncles softy. Oh well.....
 
well, got the bike off the table and cleaned house a bit... got the shop all organized and ready for a big weekend... i have to get 3 HD road kings with new bars, all new cables, pads, fluids, stereos wired, and chrome added to them done by Wed. big order to fill and stuff has to be clean as hell to stay organized and be able to rip though these.

I pulled the bike down and the new kick stand, PERFECT! for once my measurements where spot on, the weld angle is spot on for the foot, and man is this sucker low!!! i am not to crazy about the tail light and still may just tint or paint that and leave the ends open... but that is all to come. here are some pics, i know some of you where not feeling the headlight, but i have to say, i love it! LOVE IT!, the bike had 3 cars stop to check it out just sitting outside. i thought that was pretty cool!

Your build is freekin' awesome!!!! I like the tail light, myself.

For me, the headlight goes with the look of this bike, and looks good using a frame-mounted fairing stay.

But it's the orange powder coat that makes this thing a neck-breaker. That sh** is just the awesome sauce, matey!!!!
 
would look perfect if you could kick that tail up just a tad, not euro or nothing, just a tad higher. overall great build! and i like the headlight to, reminds me of a preying mantis.
 
turned out really good Joe! I'm not personally a big fan of the headlight - but it's not my bike!

I can't tell in the pics (on my phone at work), but what did you end up going with to cover the holes in the frame?

And that Royal Enfield looks HOT!
 
Yeah that Enfield is sweet and how the fuck do you get to spend so much time building bikes? God bless your wife she's a freakin' saint. She got a sister?
 
on the frame i got some plastic plugs from ace, they fit right in and looked great!!!!
wife is a saint that is for sure, she is super pumped to take this sucker for a rip!
on the tail, i had to lower the bike so much so she could ride it there is really no way to raise the tail, i got 3 point adjust links in there so i can always just raise it up in like 2 min if i want to go up any more.

ok... so since i am still waiting on a gasket i figured i would get as much done as i can! so i did... only to find, i have a bit more work ahead of me. I got the lights hooked up all the wiring done... well kind of. the tail light worked great! i had to open up and re solder the front brake light switch, bt that sucker works now... I added in my turn sigs, using some of my 10mm hyper bright LED pods, with wired in resisters.. and here is where the problem comes in...

the prev owner must have fiddled with the wires, when you turn on the left turn, works great! but the right, all 4 turn sigs flash... no big deal just got to get a wire diagram from somewhere and fix it.

everything else works great! when i click the run button i can hear the fuel pump prime, driving and brights... the whole shabang!

got the header on (new exhaust gaskets), as well as the muffler on the bike, fresh oil change, mirrors on, grips on, stator put together and on, fuel tank in, and some other odds and ends!

here are some pictures!
