OK guys I'm pretty much a lurker but wanted to post a big THANK YOU! to this site for helping me get through my build. I bought it in a box a year ago. The frame was already cut at the neck and the guy was going to hard tail it with EMT conduit haha. I guess I saved his life buying it. Any way wanted to post a pic of the finished product. Hope you guys enjoy.

Nice bike! Next one on the list is a hardtail of some type
Looks good.
It's tough but I can bend 1.25" EMT with my fairly light bodyweight. I wouldn't want to trust my weight plus the bike's to it, never mind any smaller size conduit.

Cool!! Well done.... like the copper/ brass fuel lines .
Thanks guys on a side note I'd like to put a bit in here about carburetors to save the next guy some issues. I'm running Mukuni BS34's with Uni air filters and open exhaust. I used a vacuum mate to sync the carbs at 1200rpms which is highly recommended. My jetting is 145 main 45 pilot and the needle kit from Mikesxs. Needle is on the 4th notch from the top.The bike runs absolutely fabulous plugs are nice and perfect brown. On electrical it was already electronic ignition. I went with a reg/rec combo from an XS650 and used the anti gravity 8cell micro battery to free up space.When I got into the motor the rings were bad so I went up one size and recross hatched I also had a broken valve guide(good reason to port and polish the head).
