I orderd a set of cheap h3 3.5 inch driving lights was gonna use guts in the miller but ended up going street fiighter using them. Dropped headlights to 35 watts it helped with electric draw but i ended up ordering a 7 ah batt and leds for eveything. After hearing my runs on tape think im gonna weld on some rebel muflers i have laying around. My daughter could hear it quarter mile away.

Interesting stuff there. I like the relative sizing of the headlight and tach and how the front looks. Just a bit of work done to that top triple clamp! I also hung my instruments off the ignition on my SR500 project. Are you gonna stay with the rat rod aesthetic or are there more surprises?

For now its kinda gonna stay like it is frame wise. I got some 10.5 in shocks now so i want to put upswept hoop on back. Permante project.is what i call it. Need to clean up wiring,stiffen front forks,hook up front brake. Im trying to figure out fenders right now.in va we got bit more time to ride that our fellows up north so im not gonna take it apart just yet. Its also running rich so i need to work on carbs and mufflers.
