Rather than bringin' back an old thread I will update with a new thread.
So here is a pic of the bike as it stands. I got a seat from a friend, a leaky shitty ass sporty tank that I will not be using, but confirmed my tank choice! Also a sporty rear wheel on to guage tire size, 130 instead of 150 so I dont have to worry about an offset sproket at this point.
The motor has it main case sealed back up. I am awaiting gaskets for like 3-4 weeks! The PO broke a piston ring, ONE set was 60 bucks!!!! I mocked the rest of the engine up sans gaskets as this one came in a basket and I was not the person who took it apart!
So to do list is: final welds on the frame. Mount the seat and tank. Finish the engine assembly and mount in the bike. (need carbs!) Buy and mount a rear tire. Fabricate the foot pegs, brake pedal/rear linkage. Etc. Etc.
